•  Light alloy wheels have less weight and better accelerating and braking characteristics than steel wheels.
•  The light weight of the unsprung masses causes a better driving comfort.
•  In addition light alloy wheels have very good cyclic running characteristics.
•  High strengths of the wheel arise by the use of a special heat treatment after casting.
•  The high thermal conductivity of the aluminium provokes an improved cooling of the brakes.
•  The design variety of light alloy wheels is much higher than the one of steel wheels.
