Steel weighs about 3 times as much as aluminum if comparing the exact same size, design and volume of material.
The way a wheel is manufactured can affect if a wheel can be repaired (ie cast vs. forged wheels), and can affect the strength of the wheel. I would think offroading you'd like a steel wheel because they are harder and more resistant to scratching.
