Alloys are the one fad that I've never understood. They don't affect the

You might be. Most can tell imitation alloys at a glance.

Not *everyone* is taken in by
posing and bragging rights of alloys.

Given the vast majority of cars - other than basic shopping trolleys -
have them, hardly anything to brag about.

Even my wife's 14 year old Matiz has alloy wheels - and that it pretty
well the definition of a basic shopping trolley!
