in theory, if you hit a bad pothole with a steel rim you can get a sledge hammer and tap the steel wheel back into place (not that if you carry the sledge hammer around in your trunk you can do this any place you like - rural montana comes to mind). You can't do that with an alloy.
That's why all the serious off-roaders you see have steel rims.
