I found me some used 15" 195/60 R15 snow tires non-studded for the 90 legacy Rallycross car.
The question is will stock 15" alloys hold up ok? it seems I can find them for about the same price used as some steel wheels and I would think they will be lighter.

OEM alloys are stronger and usually lighter than steelies.

Re: steelies or Alloys for Rallycross
i have used both steel and alloy wheels with little issue
the alloys will bend and in some cases break, while the steel wheels tend to just bend
get the best you can afford
as the cash flow gets better so can the equipment

Steelies will flex under hard use, also.

Re: steelies or Alloys for Rallycross
big pro for alloys is they help dissipate the heat from the brakes
