You can get a steel rim for a New Beetle - same bolt pattern.

I think you should expect to pay something like $65 US each.

They do have steels...just not in 17". I think the largest steel wheel Tire Rack offers is 16"

Unless you have aftermarket brakes, you can fit 16" rims on your car. And, since you're going with steel wheels, aesthetics aren't your greatest concern, so why not go with a 16" steel rim? The tires will be cheaper than 17s and they should be better in snow.
