Alloy wheels are lighter and better looking. Steel is stronger.
Exactly. Also, as you know, alloy wheels are more expensive.
I doubt the strength is an issue, but I am someone who stacks the odds in my favor as much as possible.
fwiw, I've had both on my pickups over the decades and I cant tell any difference in anything. I actually prefer the look of steel if you pinned me down, but the bottom line for me is I don't care.
Its your life and cash, I say go for it as you seem to want the alloys.
