    Thinking two sets. One alloy for on road, and the other steel beadlock wheels for offroad. Should act as a flywheel for offroad activities. Conversely I would want alloy for racing. New at this so hope not stupid question.

    don't know, You'd have to ask a racer what they use. I do know motocross racers use aluminum and they pull 8g's, but not the same as a truck racer.

    Forged aluminum is pretty ductile and still light.
