Steel or Alloy Rims ?
I'm planning to buy a new set for my 9th Gen. I'm not sure which one I should choose. Steel or alloy ?

Re: Steel or Alloy Rims ?
Alloy, always.

Lighter
= better power to weight ratio overall
= lighter unsprung weight so the engine/transmission cont have to overcome as much rotational inertia.
