SS1 alluminum vs Steel

Ready to buy SS1 wheels. Someone told Me to buy Aluminum rather than steel
Wheels, Trim Rings, Center Caps & Lug Nuts - RETRO MAGNUM ALLOY WHEEL SET
NEW SET OF 15 X 7" OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS / 442 WHEELS THAT ARE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND COME COMPLETE WITH OLDS RED ROCKET CENTER CAPS AND LUG NUTS. YOU CAN GIVE YOUR CAR THE MORE MODERN LOOK, BUT WITH THE OLD SCHOOL WHEELS. THESE WHEEL HAVE 4.75" BOLT PATTERN, ARE BLACK POWDER COATED WITH MACHINED LIP, AND HAVE A 4" BACKSPACE. SOLD AS SET OF 4.
Anyone? Steel vs Aluminum? This is a retro Alum. Your thoughts!

I bought a set of the aluminum type from Parts Place. They look good and are very light. From a distance they look like originals with no trim ring. I like them. If you are interested I can send you a pic with them installed on my '72 Cutlass Supreme convertible.
