Aside from being absurdly heavy, steel wheels are dangerous since they become extremely slippery to brake shoes in rain or wet conditions. I don't think steel rims are common any more - or at least they shouldn't be unless you use disk brakes or something.

A lot of serious crawlers/off-roaders prefer steel wheels because 1. they are cheap and easy to fix/replace, 2. they are easy to weld on beadlocks, and 3. you can definitely repair them out on the trail with a hammer.
