Hi,
Would anybody care to share their thought process or views on steel vs. alloy rims?
I am getting winter tires for a 2018 Leaf and trying to investigate whether alloy is worth the additional cost.
It sounds as though alloy is lighter, which I would imagine is better for range efficiency, but I've seen written on this forum that this isn't necessary always the case.
I'm not too worried about appearance, but I'd like a quality rim. Are there other advantages to alloy that I might be overlooking?
As always, I appreciate the discussion on this board - you people really know your EV's!
