K11 (no PAS) - will having alloys over stock 13' steels make steering lighter?

[nesty]

On my K11, I have no PAS, it's ok if I keep tyre pressures up into mid 30's psi region. Though just a question, would having alloy wheels over stock 13' steels, make the steering lighter?

I doubt it, imo the lighter rotating mass would only make a difference to steering at speed which isn't when you typically need power steering.
On the other hand trying to keep the offset reasonable so that the scrub radius is close to zero might make the steering lighter, were there different wheels standard for PAS and non PAS models?

No chance, also alloy aren't really any lighter than steel wheels. As above too.^^

OK many thanks for the replies, it was just a thought for anything to make the steering lighter, staying stock it is!
