Steel vs Alloy rims
So what's the scoop? Steel is stronger, not as brittle and heavier
than aluminum. For a Jeep, what's the point of alloy wheels? |

If it don't go, chrome it.

This can't be the hard-core offroader Matt Osborn I know. :)
Good quality aluminum wheels don't bend as easily offroad as steel wheels do (personal experience backs that up big time), aluminum is lighter so there is less unsprung weight, aluminum doesn't rust and need painting after every tough offroading trip and forged aluminum wheels are actually stronger than the equivilent steel wheel.

I thought bending was an advantage; the allow would break rather than bend. |
