OEM Alloy Rims vs. OE Steel Wheels
Alloy Rims are the most popular OEM wheels on almost all modern cars and trucks. Factory Original alloy wheels are made from a blend of aluminum metals which make them strong and very lightweight, but are much more expensive than steel rims. They were designed to improve your vehicle's performance and handling by maximizing the ventilation of the braking system, preventing discs and pads from overheating, and having better braking. Cheap alloy rims are not corrosion resistant and can easily be damaged by road debris, conditions, and road salt during winter. Original alloy rims also improve your car's appearance by having several different designs and finishes available for you to choose from like painted, machined, polished, and chrome. Visit our blog to read more about different alloy wheel finishes.
Until recent years, steel rims were the standard factory wheels that came with most cars or trucks. Original steel rims are made of stamped or welded steel which make them durable and cheap, but very heavy. They do much better in winter season than alloy wheels and are more resistant to damages and abuse caused by road conditions. The bad thing about steel rims is not having good heat conduction, so your brakes need maintenance more frequently. OEM steel wheels are usually painted black or silver, but could also be chromed. Factory steel rims have holes or slots all around to reduce weight and have a continuous recess where the hubcap can be mounted onto it for style.
So at the end, it all comes down to what you really want. If you're looking for what's in style and popular, then alloy rims would be your choice. If you want to be able to use your car without having to worry about weather or road conditions then steel wheels are a better choice.

Factory $23.95 Gillian Darley traces the history of the modern factory, from the utopian schemes of Robert Owen or Claude Ledoux in the early 19th century, through the great modernist "cathedrals of industry" of Peter Behrens, Albert Kahn and Frank Lloyd Wright, to the post-industrial revival of former factories, such as Renzo Piano's reconstruction of the Fiat Lingotto factory in Turin, or the landscaped industrial parks created out of former steel mills in the Ruhr area of Germany. |
