Yes, alloy rims that look like regular steel rims were available....I saw a set of two almost new recently that sold for $50 for the two, plus shipping, on ebay. I didn't bid, but if it was a set of four, I would have found it hard to resist.

You know the replaceable clips for the regular stainless steel wheel covers...they come in two versions...one all steel, the other with a nylon bushing...the nylon bushing clips were made specifically for the aluminum rims to prevent scratching the rims
