I don't think anyone makes steel wheels to fit the Viper - i.e. large enough and with the correct bolt pattern. Besides, weight is the enemy - aluminum is the way to go (or magnesium, etc.....)
An extra set of stockers can be had pretty cheaply.

BTW janni.....I am soon to be the newest member of the NC sector of the VCA!
A couple years agp Stockon wheel (stocktonwheel.com) told me they'd built some steel rally wheel type rims for Vipers.
I think back rims would've been around $175ea. I don't remember what diameter we were talking about at the time.
Give them a call, see what they can do.

Back in my stock car days, I remember there were at least a few places where you could order steel racing wheels in any size, offset, width... You name it, they would make it for you.
They were not expensive at all.
Problem is, I don't remember what the names were. I'm sure if you look in a copy of Circle Track magazine, you could find one of their ads in the back.
A little googling for "stock car wheels" might help.
Good luck.

My old AX-OEMs (18s with a tortured set of pilots) from my 99 are on the bidders block. $1,000 shipped US. They are not pretty, but no one notices at 140mph.
