About a month ago I purchased 15x7in steel wheels for my truck and put good AT tires on them. Love the look… However, since switching to a 15in steel wheel from 14in aluminum, I know I added weight, but I’ve had issues with handling, horrible vibration, and they are out of round. I also had a noticeable change in throttle response… it ain’t getting out of the way now. I recently came across 15in doe track style aluminum wheels that a guy is selling for $125 for all four. Would I be saving much weight keeping a 15in wheel but switching to aluminum? Is the switch worth the price?
I attached a picture of the wheels I’m looking at.
My truck is a 2.3l 2wd so I know I don’t have much gut to begin with.
Thank you in advance for the help!
