It is good to know a bit about wheels in general. Wheels are not all made the same. The performance of an alloy wheel is related to the manufacturing methods used. A wheel consists of a hub, spokes and a rim. These are sometimes one unit and sometimes three different parts. The hub is the center component and attaches to the suspension. The spokes connect the hub and the rim. The rim holds the tire. The rim is not the wheel, but part of the wheel.
When looking for light truck wheels you often have a choice between steel and alloy wheels. Steel wheels offer durability and don’t chip of break as easily as aluminum wheels. The stamped construction of steel wheels improves structural integrity. Since steel is less porous than aluminum they offer a better resistance against sand, gravel and related particles.
Aluminum wheels are lighter than steel ones. Cast alloy wheels have higher malleability and offers manufactures more design options. Cast aluminum is rust resistant, easy to clean and generally looks better than steel.
