But that is their very downfall isn't it? One moment of carelessness and alloys are scarred for life on our granite kerbs.
Of course you can keep on having them repaired, at quite some cost, if there is only superficial damage.
Putting aside all the guff about alloys being lighter (probably not) thereby reducing the unsprung weight and having better concentricity/balance due to manufacture, I still think good old steel wheels with nice, relatively cheap covers is the more sensible and cheaper approach.
Having said all that the Atlanta Alloys on my Golf MK6 do look nice when clean with their Diamond polished faces on the radial arms.
