The Best Way To Protect Aluminum Rims

Aluminum wheels are light, look great, and can withstand extreme forces. Unfortunately, they are also susceptible to dings and scrapes from curbs. Steel wheels are stronger but are heavier and not particularly stylish.

So, do you stick to the less fashionable option or risk damaging your wheels?

In this blog, we look at the differences between the two and discuss ways in which you can better protect them from damage.

Steel Rims

Steel wheels are tough, durable, and cost-effective. However, they are mostly associated with cheap entry-level cars and often need a plastic cover to give them a dash of style.

Pros

Cheap
Strong
A bent bead can be hammered out

Cons

Basic design
Heavy
Not available in large diameters

Aluminum Rims

The majority of cars on the road use aluminum alloy wheels. These can be cast in varying styles and sizes. They are also light, which benefits handling and ride comfort. The downsides are the higher cost and the fact that they are more likely to get damaged by road hazards like curbs.

Pros

Available in large diameters
Stylish designs
Lightweight

Cons

Expensive
Prone to damage
