Steel Wheels for winter

Heavier than light alloy wheels, but not heavier than heavy alloy wheels. According to someone here (Chad T) who weighed them, the '09 steelies (with hubcaps) were 17.7 pounds. '07 ones may be a bit different, as I believe they're a different size, but presumably are roughly similar.
Wheel weight seems to me to be only a secondary concern for winter use; you aren't going to be pushing the limits of performance (being limited by the tire grip on ice and snow), and milage in bad weather is not so great regardless.
