 Do you care about wheels? - Notdoctorchris
One reason I chose the base model Dacia Duster was for the silver-painted steel wheels without plastic wheel covers. They just look right. The next model up also has steel wheels but a fancier design which doesn't look good at all. I don't have to worry about damaging expensive alloys (though the high profile tyres which have a lip to protect the wheel minimise damage anyway).
It's quite likely that the steelies are lighter than alloys as well, reducing unsprung weight and overall weight of the vehicle.
My car is a working, useful vehicle, not a fashion statement!
