Alloy vs. Steel Wheels in Winter Tire & Wheel Packages
When creating a Winter Tire & Wheel Package you can choose either an aftermarket alloy wheel or a steel wheel for your vehicle.
Use the descriptions below to help determine the best choice for you.
Alloy Wheels| · | Enhance the look of your vehicle | |
| · | Are manufactured to precise standards to meet exact fitment and performance needs | |
| · | Weigh less than steel wheels and have superior strength | |
| · | May be the preferred option for your vehicle based on fitment requirements | |
| · | Will allow for better brake clearance (depending on wheel style and brake components installed) | |
| · | Require proper maintenance as finish damage may result in the harshest winter climates where salt and sand are routinely used |
Steel Wheels
| · | Meet the basic needs of drivers who want the convenience of a winter tire package without the additional cost of an alloy wheel | |
| · | Typically available in black or silver finish depending on the application | |
| · | Basic styling can often be updated with wheel covers | |
| · | Cost less than alloy wheels due to ease of manufacturing and lower material costs |
