steel: stronger than alloy(steel will bend when alloy would crack when curbed), CHEAPER!


If the budget for wheels is $300 or less, you AINT gonna get an alloy. Steel's your only choice.

You could look for some used alloy wheels. Look long enough, you will be able to find some for 250-300 in decent shape.
