OEM steel wheels or white spoke? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What should I choose for my 1982 K20 Suburban, a stock 16x6.5 OEM steel wheel or a white spoke 16x7? I am going to run a set of 235/85-16 tires for the snowy winter climate.

The OEM steel wheels have bigger load capacity per wheel and probably will stay straighter too. They will sit so much further into the body, so I am worried about the high center of gravity of the K20 Sub with that wheel.

Does anyone have suggestions or experience, besides aluminium wheels,
as the are not good in the winter salt and they cost 450 dollars used per wheel here in Sweden.
