Default Do VW steel wheels or alloy wheels weigh more?

I am pretty sure you will find the steel rims are lighter. Especially if you
eliminate the hub caps. I weighed the 16" wheels for my 2015 passat and
found the steel wheels were about 5lbs!!! lighter than the alloy. The allow
wheels are made very thick for safety.
