Needs curb feelers
He said 37" TIRES--not RIMS !..
Very difficult to find what you're looking for. The traditional spoked wheel center diameter doesn't fit 17" barrels so there would be entirely new tooling I'm sure. A couple of my wheel distributors told me only a few manufacturers make steel wheels parts and it's pretty antiquated on styling and not planned to change.
Your best bet is Stockton wheel and they told me they don't do the 17s I want because of the same reasons. 17" barrels don't fit the older centers.

The pro comp steel wheels are a cheap option.

bad thing about 16.5 is bead retention; unless you plan on hummer beadlocks
i did basic black D-window nascar style rims . click STUBBY link below in sig line. page 14 post 260 it starts with pics . ends on page 16 . its spread out over the few pages .
removed them new from the box's and set in steel shot blast cabinet and removed all the black .
hung them up and primed/ painted white .
conversion lug nuts and 88-98 center caps for factory look spot on .
just got to cut 2 center caps for the hub to pass threw in the front.

Have they given you issues?
I've known several guys who ran without beadlocks and no issues
when wheeling, yes; a few times I or others have popped them off the bead. once we used peanut butter to get the bead to set on a 42" TSL on a 16.5x9.75 rim (one of my McGyver moments LOL)
on the street at higher pressures, then no problems.

Just the limitations of selection would keep me from going 16.5.
If you want a wagon spoke go 15"

Not finding much in the way of 37s for 15s
if I remember correctly it was in the single digits; to be honest, we told him not to air down so much but he did it anyway
Toyo makes a 37 for a 15" rim along with several different Interco offerings but you are correct in that there are a lot more offerings in 17" rim size
Because.........Mall crawler.
Don't you have KOH prep?
