    Duke,
    baka naman STEEL or ALLOYS

    on "off road" this is a subjective issue, steel has the strength and can be repairable alloys on the other side is lighter meaning faster accelaration and less stress to the engine,

    nung unang panahon, MAGNESIUM gawa ang mga rims. Then, naimbento na mas magaan at matibay ang gawa sa ALLOY. Hanggang ngayon, kalimitan at ginagamit pa din natin ang salitang MAGS kahit na hindi naman gawa sa MAGS ang ALLOY RIMS na tinutukoy. May mga FORGED na ALLOY kaya hindi na issue ang TIBAY kse mas matibay ang FORGED ALLOY. At dahil na rin sa maka-bagong teknolohiya, matitibay na ang ALLOY made wheels.

    'pare, ang gara ng MAGS mo ah'

    'pare, hindi gawa sa magnesium yan, gawa sa alloy' hahaha

    ang tamang tema kse, 'pare, ang gara ng rims mo ah'

    quote from tirerack.com

    Alloy metals provide superior strength and dramatic weight reductions over ferrous metals such as steel, and as such they represent the ideal material from which to create a high performance wheel. In fact, today it is hard to imagine a world class racing car or high performance road vehicle that doesn't utilize the benefits of alloy wheels.

    The alloy used in the finest road wheels today is a blend of aluminum and other elements. The term "mag wheel" is sometimes incorrectly used to describe alloy wheels. Magnesium is generally considered to be an unsuitable alloy for road usage due to its brittle nature and susceptibility to corrosion. (Flammability doesn't help either !)

    Wala na yatang magnesium wheels sa local market. Masyado itong malambot. Kaya alloy na ang gamit. Usually aluminum alloy.

    Then there are steel wheels. Some are black, some are chromed, meron ding painted finish.

    Alloys are lighter than steel. Steel is tougher. For everyday normal use, alloys will do the job well.

    Just to clarify, steel is also an alloy. An alloy is a combination of 2 or more metals. So unless it's a pure elemental metal, it's an ALLOY.
