Aluminum Wheels
Thinking about getting aluminum wheels for the RV. What are the pro's & cons of such a decision? Cost is definitely a factor and the looks are better, but are there any other advantages/disadvantage...

I feel that the improved look is worth so much, but if I'm risking other issues down the road is the transition worth it.
Your thoughts.
Steel is a stronger metal but aluminum wheels are stronger. Even if the coating wears through aluminum resist corrosion a lot better than steel. Aluminum are more round than steel and balance and ride better.
I'm not sure about weight difference between the tow. The aluminum wheels are thicker.
You notice Semis all have aluminum wheels on the tractor and most trailer wheels are aluminum. They of course are on the road all the time.
Look on line for Freightline who is not cheap and other sources for wheels for prices. I saw some that would handle the 275x85x22.5 for 225.00each I think one time and was told here that as a steal.
