The steel wheels are not prone to bending because of the higher aspect ration (thicker sidewall) when you need to put bigger size tyre no ways the steel rim can stay on without bending as there is no fat sidewall to protect it anymore
It is not the fuel economy i am talking about its the steering feel which gets improved because of low mass. At the end of the day the biggest communication between you and your car (besides pedal and gear shift) gets better.
And also the alloys plays a major role in a cars character. Thats why you will still turn your head to see an RS going by than normal skoda. |
