Price of wheels is one thing and yes some are cheaper and readily available but are they available in the offset and back spacing needed to put them under one of these trucks. Building a 9" to save money on brakes just does not seem like a way to save money. The Corvette wheels have close to 7" of back spacing and that is a problem on it own in the front needing close to a 2" or 2 1/2" spacer to get the wheel center where it needs to be.
