Tirerack has an interest in selling wheels. Alloy rims *may* weigh less
than pressed steel. Alloy wheels *may* be more rigid. When I wanted a
set of rims to mount my studs I bought American Racing. It wasn't for
looks or performance -- they were only marginally more expensive than
steel rims and a lot easier to find without haunting junk yards.

Invoking Formula One high end specialty wheels in a conversation started
by Micky is a little off course. Trying to extrapolate from Formula
racing to bigger wheels being better is even harder:

Short and fat is the way to go for F1. Don't even think about mentioning
NASCAR -- 15" and steel.
