Correct answer
Steel (pressed steel) and light alloy.
Steel, commonly as pressed-steel rims, and light alloys such as aluminium-based alloys. They are not the only possible materials: other designs and materials exist. A rim needs suitable strength and dimensions and must be compatible with the tyre and vehicle. Low weight alone does not guarantee safety or remove the need to check damage.
