ABSTRACT
About Automotive Steel Wheels
Steel wheels are widely used in LCVs and M&HCVs as these wheels are heavier and stronger than alloy wheels. However, steel wheels in passenger cars are being replaced by alloy wheels. Though OEMs are trying to equip their vehicles with alloy wheels in the passenger car segment, they prefer steel wheels for the LCVs and M&HCVs segments as these can bear heavy weight. Steel wheels can bear heavy loads, which is crucial for the LCV and M&HCV segments. Compared with alloy wheels, these wheels have better traction at low speeds and are highly preferred by consumers for off-road applications. Steel wheels are cheaper, durable, require low maintenance cost, and provide greater safety as they are heavy weight. During winters, these wheels can cut through snow and ice. Thus, steel wheels are preferred over alloy wheels in the LCV and M&HCV segments.
