Before deciding what kind of rims/ wheels you want for your car, you should have a clear knowledge of the specs of these wheels. The two main type of wheels are Alloy wheels and Steel wheels. Let Tyre Gallery give you a quick insight on the Alloy wheels vs Steel wheels.

Alloy wheels are expensive while steel wheels are not. Is it only because of the design? The simplest and shortest answer to this question is NO. And there is a technical reason behind it.

There are three major differences between an Alloy wheel and a Steel wheel.

Alloy wheels are made up of an alloy of light metals, namely aluminum, nickel, and magnesium. This alloy is several pounds lighter than steel wheels which makes the drive smooth and which results in less fuel consumption.

The lighter the Alloy wheel, the quicker the acceleration and also better braking. Alloys wheels also reduce the strain on the suspension components making the car run smoother.

Alloy wheels are also known to be beneficial for your brake pads since, in extreme driving conditions, it helps keep heat away from brake components. This results in brake pads wearing out slower.

Another big difference is the design. Alloy wheels are made from the latest technology and are available in amazing designs. Whereas the steel ones only come in traditional designs. People who are really conscious about the look and feel of their rims usually go for the Alloys.
