Aluminium vs Steel wheels? - Jeep Wrangler Forum

Alloy wheels vs steel wheels - Jeep Wrangler Forum
2014年8月26日 · Steel wheels bend too easily for my offroad needs. I converted from aluminum to steel year ago and after a couple years of fighting bends and dents, went back to aluminum. Granted many trails aren't difficult enough to bend steel wheels but one trail I didn't think was all that difficult put enough dents into my steel wheels that they kept ...

2012年1月13日 · I primarily decided to go aluminum because they use salt here in the winter time. I was also trying to keep the weight down as much as I could but I have read there are "lighter" steel wheels as well. FWIW the stock 17" wheel and tire on my Rubicon weighed 72.2 lbs each which was less then the 76 lbs I had seen in my research.

2012年7月31日 · When I was building up my Rubi I went with aftermarket aluminum wheels with MTR 35's. I ended up getting rid of the aluminum wheels in favor of steel rims for several reasons. 1. The aluminums were slippery - the tire bead would slip, repositioning the tire on the rim - throwing the balance way off.
Convince me! Steel vs Alloy - Jeep Wrangler Forum
2007年7月16日 · I ran aluminum wheels for years, switched to steel wheels for around 3-4 years, and went back to aluminum. I'll never run steel again. I like wheeling on rocks and I spent more time straightening dents out of my steel wheels after one trip than in total on my aluminum wheels. Steel is ok for easy trails but if you're on the rocks much, they ...

2015年9月19日 · The factory Canyon wheels are cast aluminum-- seeing as I'll likely never likely get forged alloy wheels, are the cast wheels better than steel? Back in my mountain biking days there was a steel vs. aluminum debate; steel was heavier but could flex safely, aluminum was lighter but could weaken/crack under heavy use.
Steel Mopar wheels.. pros/cons - Jeep Wrangler Forum
2018年10月17日 · Steel wheels do rust as there is iron in steel. Aluminum wheels do not contain iron so no rust, but they still oxidize. Which I would consider the same thing. Cast aluminum wheels come in a lot of different sizes and shapes, but come on they are cast. If I was to buy aluminum wheels I would be looking for a spin forged wheel.

2017年6月8日 · The practical thing about steel wheels is the rims can be bent/hammered back into shape if the rim/bead area takes a trail boulder hit. The bad is steelies are heavy - as you point out. Whereas cast alloys can break/chip/chunk at the rim if a rock hit/scrape is hard enough - causing loss of bead seal/inflation.
