Steel Wheels
Steel wheels are pressed steel rims, cheaper and tougher than alloy wheels but heavier.
What is Steel Wheels?
They are popular for winter tyre sets. Plastic wheel trims often cover them. They bend rather than crack when hit hard. Steel wheels are easier and cheaper to repair after minor damage.
How it works
Pressed steel parts are welded together into a strong, simple wheel.
Why it matters for your car
Use the correct bolts, because steel and alloy wheels often need different seat types. Rust can form around the bead seat and cause slow leaks.
