This thread is hilarious with attacks and jokes. Great entertainment!
My two cents
My method on all my vehicles has always been to buy aftermarket rims and good tires for the spring summer fall seasons and then put winters on my stock rims. I have done it no other way for the last 20 years. This way I am happiest with my car and it’s looks when I enjoy driving.
Steelies Have their place but there is a reason cars don’t come with them anymore and looks aren’t the only thing driving that decision (because hub caps still exist). Steel rims weigh more, this puts more strain on your suspension and other areas of your vehicle (unsprung weight might lower your Center of gravity but agility takes a #### kicking) and also contributes to worse performance due to said weight. A large number of vehicles with 4 piston brakes can’t even use steel wheels and a general rule of thumb is that if your vehicle didn’t come with steel rims you shouldn’t put steel rims on. Yes steel can take a beating over alloy but that advantage will not outweigh the many cons.
