From the mid to late '60s - early 70s no performance car was ever seen with steel wheels. The only reason you see so many steel wheels on restored cars these days is because the cars were originally ordered with them.
But the only reason the cheap steel wheels were optioned on performance cars was because the owners never intended to keep the wheels on the cars.
Every performance car you saw had alloy wheels of some sort.
On the drag strips they were mostly one of the 5-spoke designs. On the race circuits (both in the US and the UK) they were mostly Minilite magnesium alloy.
Look at any of the cars in the Trans Am (or British Touring car) racing series and you see Minilites.
If i wanted to get that 70s Drag Race look I would have gone for Cragar 5-spokes and fitted skinny front wheels. But my car is built for cornering because i do find that having to turn the steering wheel from side to side a lot is actually quite good fun as long as it is not down to a dodgy steering box.
So
to you.
PS
I don't care for Daisy mags much either.
