Alloy vs. Steel Wheels? What's Better? 

Hey all - It is important top keep in mind how your vehicle was designed. Always do your research before switching wheel types. We re-uploaded this video to correct a sound issue. Enjoy!

Love you and your wife’s videos. Thanks for doing what you do!

I love that you are doing these videos in one take, it's refreshing. Please keep it up. Make mistakes, misspeak whatever, it's honest and it's appreciated.

Stock alloy until they break and then maybe go to steal. The volume on your mic was on the low side. The tail end music was at the right volume. Just FYI.

Agreed on the old style military/Jeep/Landrover dished steel; those are the best, most functional looking wheels made. My Fronty Pro4x came with decent looking alu wheels and unless I come out one morning and the truck is on blocks with the wheels missing I think they're staying put.

I think your first assessment couldn’t have been better. Always love the videos. Stay safe good sir

Great video. Very important consideration when trying to figure out how to reduce your vehicle weight as well.

For those who love the old steel wheel look like the ones on that Land Rover, but need the light weight of aluminum wheels, I'd recommend Fifteen52's Analog HD wheels. Have them on my Toyota pickup and love them.

Spot on! Steel is the way to go!

Thank you for reposting.

You should do a video on how to remove a tire in a pinch and the best and safe ways to do it

JLUR (2019) - currently stock/OEM alloy wheels, plan on running these for a bit and as my build goes will replace with steel most likely as lift (2.5) and new tires get put one (someday)

This was awesome and perfect timing! Getting ready to pull the trigger on some steel Terrafirma wheels for the LR3! Good info! 👊🏻 #ob5962

Bend don't Break.

Yes i can hear it yea. I love Steelie

Talk about toyota Fj crusiers too.

Less unsprung weight helps with fuel economy too.

Sound is still bad.

The weight argument is negligible in my opinion. Even on a big rig the tire is the heavy part, not the wheel.

If cost is a factor just keep what the manufacturers put on it. Here is a question for the Toyota drivers. Have you ever broken an alloy wheel?

How big is the weight difference between steel and alloy wheels? Assuming both are the same size.

What is that buzzing noise

Steel is real!

I think the next video should be Michael WASHING HIS RIG. :-) (i know, I know not function but come on man) OB 6811

Thank you for reloading ! steelies all the way !
