Steel wheels, waste of money?

Well here I am 10 days into my first quad, and as I let my dad take it for a spin, and I followed him on his machine, I realized the right rear tire wobbled, and at closer inspection saw deep gouges. Annoying to realize I’d been had maybe by the only previous owner, but also a good excuse to get new wheels. I have looked and looked, and really don’t like the fancy SUV style "rims". I honestly like the simple, black, steel ITP wheels. Am I wasting my time with these wheels? I am about as mechanically inclined as the couch I sit on, so I know no different. I’m not crawling, wheeling or swamping my new quad (yet), and just want to hear some advice from those who actually know a thing or two about a thing or two. Also, the stock tires (334 miles) are pretty worthless, and the consensus I seem to be seeing is the bighorns, good idea?? Please let me know if I’m making a mistake with these wheels, or what I should do. I’m money conscious but not dead broke, so if theres something I should save for, please let me know. Also, will I damage anything by continuing to ride with a wobbly tire?
Thanks
