Steel or alloy?
 
Want to get some opinions on what is better for a mostly DD wheel. So is it steel or alloy?

If you dont do much wheeling alloy if you wheel a lot steel.

Can't go wrong with steel:thumbsup:

I just read today that steel decreases gas mileage... And some of the stock alloys look really nice.

the truth about alloys is that most are stronger than steel wheels, and theyre much lighter. thats about it.

If you wheel on a lot of rocks or wheel hard meaning like to see how high you can get the jeep off the ground you are more likely to crack an alloy will. yes you may still Bend a steel wheel but it is a lot safe driving that home than a cracked alloy, not to mention cheaper to replace in most cases.
