No, the opposite, when you COULD afford nice mag wheels....You buy the car with the cheap base wheels and toss them in the dumpster when your new aftermarket mags went on the car....Hence the rarity of some steel wheels.
Like the guy I tracked down many years later, who had ordered the 440-6 pack, dana 71 Challenger that I eventually bought.
He told me 'the day he ordered the car he ordered Cragar Mags and Hooker headers at the local speed shop'.
Luckily those wheels didn't go in the dumpster but were put in the old Cragar boxes.
Happy day for me when we went to the old abandoned milk house on his fathers farm and there were the basically brand new dusty 450's still in the weathered boxes.
