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.
I am asking out of curiousity, does that much of a difference really make a difference for the average vehicle that isn't about racing and etc? Also the same question for off roading? Again, I don't know much about this stuff and it is just out of curiousity.
