1. Steel rims are usually boring, black and have a plastic wheel cover on the outside, alloy and aluminum are one in the same, sometimes called aluminum alloy, the usually are lighter, and are almost never black in color, and they are usually quite fancy, like you can see your brakes through the wheel.
2. Alloy;two or more mixed metal. chrome:Alloy plus the cromium element. aluminum: less-corrosive metallic material that can be mix with alloy steel ;any alloy containing 80% of Iron.(American steel standard) wheels made out of alloy Auto Zone store:wheel cleaner's spray bottle
