Alloy rims are lightweight (4-6 lbs per set) with a bright chrome finish but prone to bending under wheel bearing loads. Steel rims are heavier (8-12 lbs per wheel) with thicker walls and are more durable. Forged rims are custom-made and typically higher quality. Choose alloy for everyday use, steel for durability.
