So I am thinking of putting some steel wheels or eagle alloys on my blazer. It will be my daily. I dont really want to spend 500-600 on eagles when I can get a set of wagon wheels for 250. But I guess the question is what is the difference? I know the alloys will be a tad lighter but is that it?

 

lighter is about it . . .
alot of people gone to steel wheels for offroad because if ya bend a lip ya can straighten em . . not so about aluminum it tends to crack when ya go to strenghten em

 

True.

 

balancing, better on alloy vs. steel. For a daily driver.
I would vote steel in most 4wd cases where getting dirty is involved.

 

wagons and "D" window steelies anlays look better on older trucks alloys look better on new, i think steelies look tougher and alloys look more flashy. depend on ur style haus
