I have steel rims on my old Panasonic that I use for dry-weather commuting. People say that in wet weather steel rims have poor braking, but this just simply isn't true.

no braking.
My steel rims get beyond scary if I so much as ride through a short patch of dewey grass. Fred Flintstone has better braking in his car. Upgrading my rims on this bike is on my winter project list if I can put the scratch together to do it.
Thankfully my winter bike has alloy rims.
