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.

i agree besides it is all opinion on what you like :cheers:

All I wanted was opinions on this I guess I will decide for myself.

Well, the alloys will look a lot nicer IMO. I would prefer a cheaper steel rim for winter driving though. So for me, it depends on what season it is.

I personaly have only seen one break and that was on an Xploder and we want wheeling we were driving and had a blow out the wheel hit the pavement and busted a chuck out of the back of the wheel about half the size of a golf ball. I have seen broken ones that people have busted wheeling hard, but only seen one break in person.
the tire blew out, then broke the rim... on... pavement. relevance? every comp rig in XRRA, WEROCK, whatever runs alloys. |
Isn't there many other factors that play a larger role like tire diameter, driving style, and tire pressure? If you have too little sidewall or tire pressure you'll mess up the rim no matter what material its made of. And you can mess up any rim if you drive hard enough. Then again it's just supposed to be opinions. I second the lock motion. :fight:

do what you want i have seen some super nice beadlock alloys that i would not mind getting. but for me i am cheep and steels is the way to go plus if i want bead locks in the future i can get the weld ons for like 200 for a full set so that is not to bad. and i have a friend on alloys with beadlocks and the thing has seen more rocks and wheeling then about 90% of the people on here have seen including johnson vally sledghammer and they held up great for the abuse we put them through :cheers:

I like the look of some alloy wheels, and I have beat the crap out of my steelies. Yes it is your choice.
My solution: 2 sets of wheels, cheap steelies to wheel on with re-treads, and nice alloys with some AT's for DD. Im saving the $$ for this solution. |
