Based on the subject of thsi thread... Steel vs Alloy
Steel - more durable and cheaper - so just think kung bigla kang malubak ng alanganin... there's a higher chance na mag survive yung steel rim kesa sa alloy.
Another benefit I can see with steel rims is madali maghanap ng replacement... kung isa or 2 lang kailangan mo, mas madali maghanap (sa dami ng nag trade in)
Alloy - should be lighter... Reducing unsprung mass theoretically helps a car’s suspension work more effectively. Reducing rotating mass should make the car accelerate and stop faster as well. Pero in the real world, wala naman talagang benefit yung performance aspect ng alloy wheels... So it's basically aesthetics.

Alloy: Maporma, expensive(orig), Still havent heard of a shop that could repair a broken/crack alloy wheels sa pinas unless you want to take the risk sa mga unknown shops.
Steelies: so-so sa appearance(subjective), cheap, off-roaders love steelies dahil repairable kahit sa trail site mismo.
Or better yet, just google it daming lalabas na hits nyan kahit sa you tube.

June 8th, 2018 09:38 AM #13There's also cast alloy wheels vs forged alloy wheels.
Forged=stronger, lighter and more expensive.

[QUOTE=Jc007;2973426]Hello Tsikot people! Interested to know your opinions about "Steel wheels" and "Alloy wheels", which is better?

OEM wheels for late model European cars are alloy wheels (aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy) for a couple of reasons:
1. Alloy wheels are lighter-better fuel economy, lighter unsprung weight which result in a more comfortable ride on bumpy roads.
2. Better heat dissipation for better brake cooling
3. Can be shaped to have a better air foil to reduce wind noise and reduce air drag
4. In addition to the little spoilers in front of each tire, induces the road water splash away from the car's body.

June 9th, 2018 03:47 PM #18i wonder about the supposed weight advantage of aluminum alloy wheels. of course i know that aluminum is lighter than steel but aluminum wheels are very thick, while steelies use very thin material
i have a feeling that this weight advantage is overrated does anyone have empirical data?
