Comparison between Asanti Aluminum rimmed wheels and Stainless Steel rimmed wheels

Wheels hold aesthetic importance regarding the overall look of your vehicle. But it’s not just about looks. What they’re made of says a lot about their future performance. Whether they’ll be durable, versatile, cost-effective, etc. depends on the material they’re manufactured from. Asanti, the renowned manufacturers of high-grade alloy wheels, create wheels with aluminum lip and stainless steel lip. Buyers may get confused as to which is the right choice for their car, as both alloys have different properties.

On comparison, there are a lot of factors to consider which we shall discuss here.

Cost Effectiveness

Both aluminum rim and stainless steel rim fall almost in the same price bracket. Wheels with aluminum casing are priced higher than stainless steel. However, the difference is not that great to discourage one from buying in the first place.

Weight

Aluminum alloy is lightweight as compared to stainless steel and therefore save on fuel expenditure by reducing the drag. Stainless steel being heavier increases drag dampens acceleration and lowers the car’s center of gravity. Due to all this, the car seems heavier to drive. Also, heavier wheels perform poorly in snow as they exert more pressure on tires which further increases drag.

Heat Distribution

Heat distribution of aluminum alloys is better than stainless steel. The friction produced while braking heats up stainless steel much faster than aluminum alloy. It reduces braking efficiency over time. On the other hand, even heat distribution of aluminum alloys leads to efficient braking.

Strength

Stainless steel is stronger than aluminum alloy wheels. Aluminum alloy wheels are made from aluminum and nickel. Both metals have to be mixed in a certain proportion to achieve the desired strength. Even a minor error in proportion can make aluminum alloys brittle and susceptible to breakage. Therefore, it’s recommended that you buy high-quality alloy wheels from an authorized dealer.

Looks

When it comes to looks, aluminum alloys score big time. There’s a wide range of aluminum alloy wheel designs, engineered to improve overall vehicular look and performance. The choice is fairly limited when it comes to stainless steel wheels. Moreover, few manufacturers create wheels out of both aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

Repair Convenience

Stainless steel rims when bent is easy to repair as compared to aluminum alloy. When impacted, stainless steel rims are easier to put back in shape. Repairing aluminum alloy wheels is tough but not impossible.

As we can see, there are pros and cons on both sides. Therefore, the decision to buy aluminum-alloy wheels or stainless steel ones rests on personal choice.

Overall my dad likes the product. It was easy to install. Took 15 minutes. But it took too long for the shipping. 2 weeks. It had a delay because of the pandemic. Overall it was worth it.

Tonneau brand new and already collects water - not tight enough on frame, Didn't find this out until a week after purchase and packing had been disposed of so can't return it.

This was my first order with Parts Engine and the order and delivery was quick and easy. It was very easy to install and looks great. I ran into a problem with my tonneau cover but the customer support was excellent. They quickly tried to resolve it with new parts and when that did not work a new cover was sent out right away. Could not have asked for better and faster service. I would highly recommend PartsEngine and this tonneau cover.

This is the first time I ordered from PartsEngine and it was a good experience. Received the TonnnoPro in 24hrs and was in good shape. It was easy to put onto the truck bed and adjust as needed, just like in other reviews. I do understand some comments online about some of the plastic parts but I think they're a decent build quality and if anything were to happen then i'll deal with it then. The vinyl is nice and overall construction of the frame is good. The seals seat well on the bed frame and the cover lays down flat when the clamps are set up properly. Happy with the product overall.
