'04 Ram. Does anyone make cheap 17" stamped steel wheels?

I bought a new 04 4X4 cummins Dodge. Love it! But I wanted to get a set of 4 studded snow tires mounted on some cheap wheels that I could run on the truck during the studded tire season. I don't know how many salvage yards I've called (truck is too new- don't have any 17" rims at all) or wheel places (Don't make any yet, tooling aint set). So I've got to ask... Has anyone found any 17" wheels that fit? I've called the dealer, and the cheapest wheel they've got is the spare tire rim @ $157 each. I've thought of trying to mount the 16" wheels, but the chrysler part guy says they won't clear the rear disk brake caliper. I think he may be right. Help!-----Steve
