Explore durable steel wheels, steel rims and steelies made for stability, durability and year‑round performance.






















Since they are heavier, steel wheels (also known as steel rims) are favourable during the winter months as they provide extra friction, diminishing chances of your car slipping on ice or snow. They also require very little maintenance and tend to be a more economical choice. They rarely bend, crack or rust (providing the layer of paint on the surface is maintained). And if they do ever bend, repairing them is much easier than with alloy wheels.
However, steel wheels are not compatible with every vehicle - high-performance and larger cars tend to require alloy wheels. To ensure you’re picking up the right set for your car, truck, or SUV, enter your year, make, and model information above to find the right fit for your vehicle.
Which wheel is better: alloy or steel?
Alloy wheels are for drivers who prefer to improve the style and performance of their ride. They are also much lighter than steel wheels, which enables faster acceleration, but this also means they bend and crack easily. Durability is a major advantage that steel wheels have over alloy wheels. They are stronger and heavier, which makes them an ideal choice to use in the wintertime. Canadian Tires offers quality wheels, whether you choose alloy or steel for your vehicle. Our online tool at the top of the page will make it easier for you to shop for a fresh new set of wheels.
How much is a steel rim for a car?
One of the biggest benefits to choosing steel rims for your car or truck is that they’re the most budget-friendly option. The cost of steel wheels will depend on the size and the brand, but they typically start at around $30.
Are automotive wheels made of steel?
Automotive wheels are made from various materials. Alloy wheels are mainly made of aluminum combined with nickel, magnesium, and other metals, while steel wheels are a combination of iron and carbon.
