What are the advantages of steel truck rims?

Steel rims have a number of advantages over aluminum rims:

Steel rims are heavier and sturdier than aluminum rims. They are therefore more resistant to heavy working conditions.
Steel rims are well suited to withstand the salt used in winter. The salt is corrosive, and aluminum rims handle it worse.

What are the disadvantages of steel truck rims?

Steel rims are not better than alloy rims in every respect. Steel rims also have some disadvantages:

Steel rims can rust.
Aesthetically, many people find steel rims on trucks less attractive than aluminum rims.
Steel truck rims are heavier. As a result, a truck fitted with steel rims can carry less cargo compared to a truck with aluminum rims.
