If you are torn between a ‘fancy’ set of alloy wheels and a more ‘practical’ set of steel wheels, which are, after all, somewhat cheaper, here are some excellent reasons to tip your decision towards alloy wheels!
Aesthetics the Thing
Alloy wheels look fantastic. This is why, when the racing industry adopted alloy wheels they very quickly made the leap to private vehicles too. Alloy wheels, made from alloys of either magnesium or aluminium, can be shaped much more easily and delicately than steel, so you can enjoy a fantastic swirling pattern on your wheels. Some alloys are even cunningly designed to create an optical illusion that looks amazing when the car is in motion. They can come in a variety of bright colours, metallic finishes and more – so you can tailor your dream car precisely to your imagination!
Improves the Car’s Handling
But racing drivers are not as bothered about the look of their car as they are about its speed and they would never make the change to different wheels unless there was a clear advantage to them in doing so – and indeed those benefits are there! Being much lighter than steel wheels, alloy wheels make a car much more responsive. Steering is a delight, cornering is sharp and you will feel as though your driving skills have been boosted in some way! Not bad for a simple wheel change!The various benefits of alloy wheels over steel, if added up over the years, can actually make alloy wheels a more profitable expense than sticking with the cheaper, heavier steel wheels. And now you have three excellent reasons to choose some beautiful alloy wheels that will make your car look great!

Reduces Wear and Tear
And that is not all! The reduced weight of the wheels is unsprung weight – that which is not otherwise supported and distributed by the springs. The more weight the vehicle has to move along the road, the more wear and tear there is throughout the entire chassis and engine, from the axles and up. The less wear and tear your vehicle suffers from the longer it will last and the better it will hold up during that time. This means that you have a car that is in perfect working order all the time, but it also means that you save money on repairs and breakdowns as they will occur less often – all thanks to alloy wheels being much lighter than steel ones
