Firstly.. that's alloy. lol
Good quality modern alloy wheels are light weight and strong. They are stronger and tougher than steel wheels but with a much higher price tag and very hard or impossible to repair if anything happen to them while offroad in the middle of nowhere. With that said, even steel wheels can be bashed back to life while offroad, I would still choose alloy. By the time you apply the same force that caused damage to the alloy wheel to render it unusable, the steel wheel would be unable to repair by that time and bashed into scrap metal.
So for a JK, I would rather go for something lighter.
