If you get steel rims thats over 60 pounds of extra weight, this will lower your engine power slightly and increase your fuel consumption and reduce your braking power.
Alloys are also better offroad, they don't bend as easily as steel rims do. Most rock crawler, desert racers are all running alloys for reason.
I called procomp and thats not the info they gave me. I got weight on 3 procomp rims and from doing so I am staying with my steel rims.
