Tata's DurAlloy Wheel is a steel rim with a plastic wheel cap

Okay, now I'm seriously starting to get angry. Earlier this month, there was the features thread, and now this.

Very frankly, looking at the pics, website, press release & brochure, I would've thought they are proper alloy wheels too. If a diehard petrolhead can be had by this gimmick, what's to say for the layman? I have no problem with such clever plastic wheel caps - they are indeed clever. But why call something "DurAlloy wheels" when they are NOT alloy wheels. This is gross misleading of the customer.

Thanks to Gautam Jain for sending this information in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page!

These wheel caps cost ₹4500 for a set of 4. Pics credit to Arun Barathi, a clearly disappointed Tata customer.
