    Steel wheels bad idea?

    I been researching the crap outta this and have found no exact answer on if this a good or bad idea. Looked into the diamond, basset, or bart 15x8 or 16x8 steel wheels. Love the look but i keep reading about them vibrating bad because of the lugcentric and hubcentric. not only that i heard they are very easy to bend. These all sound true to everyone? should i stay away from these?

        I thought the point of steelies, aside from being cheap, is that they won't bend as easy?

          They will bend but not crack like other wheels. But like other have said there heavy and can give you issues
