Re: Chasing Vibrations - ‘78 K10 Suburban
I know just everything has aluminum wheels now but after cracking an OEM aluminum wheel on my 1500 Suburban, I wouldn't have anything more to do with them. I've got three of them that are still "usable" sitting out by the garage but I won't ever use them again for anything other than an emergency spare-spare.
I even swapped out the factory 17" aluminum wheels on our 2006 HHR for 15" steel junkyard wheels from a Malibu/Saturn. Main reason was to get rid of those damn low profile tires that also cost a fortune, but now I get better ride, mud/snow traction, and gas mileage. Also a steel wheel will bend, maybe to the point of needing replacement, but an aluminum wheel might just shatter.
