 Do you care about wheels? - Oldgit
This Alloy wheel nonsense is yet another gimmick thrust upon us by the motor industry isn't it?
I suppose, once upon a time, they might have been an optional extra but now there are only a few makes or models within the range, where one can choose a sensible steel wheel shod with a nice rubbery high profile tyre and thus give us some protection from our appallling road surfaces littered with potholes and the ubiquitous sunken inspection covers.

The stupidity is that most have have been sold on these Ally monstrosities and even specifiy larger wheels for their pride and joy, with just a rubber band of rubber tyre to insulate/isolate the wheel from shock after hitting or bottoming into potholes etc.
