Yeah, thats close to universal now. I'd be very
tempted to go for steel wheels with a new car
with alloys, I couldnt care less what it looks like.

I've often wondered what the attraction with alloy wheels is, given that
they are softer and can deform if you accidentally scrape the wheel along
a kerb while parking.

Its really just appearance.

My previous car (a Pug 306) happened to come with alloy wheels, but I'd
never pay extra for them.

I'd personally pay extra for steel wheels.

And I ditched the wheel trims on the Getz steel wheels.
