Steel Wheels

Most people don't think too much about their cars, let alone the wheels on their cars. The wheels, or so the thinking goes, are purely functional. Your car has wheels, you put tires on them, and now you drive your car. The fact is, your car's wheels affect its drivability, handling, and performance--not to mention the overall look of the car.

Your car's wheels are made of one of two materials: a cast-aluminum alloy or steel. Aluminum alloy wheels are lighter and generally better for handling, but they are much more expensive. Alloy wheels are machine cast, meaning that they take longer to produce.

Steel wheels, however, can be more easily mass produced, since they are made from stamped sheet metal. Steel wheels are also more common, partially because they are less expensive, and partially because they are adequate for many different functions. When choosing between alloy and steel wheels, it comes largely down to personal preference. But if your budget won't alloy for alloy wheels, steel ones are a viable alternative. You needn't think that because they cost less that you are getting a product of less than reputable quality.
