  1. Armchair Bronco
    I just bought a used 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.2L sedan for my 3 kids to share. This model has steel rims with plastic hub caps. The wheels look fine, and overall the car handles great in this configuration. However, I spotted a CraigsList ad for a set of really nice Impreza 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels from that same period. The guy wanted $200 USD but I offered $150. Not only would these rims ad some bling to the car, but based on what I've read alloy wheels tend to be a little more performant compared to steel rims. I've also read that they dissapate heat from the brakes better, so this also helps brake longevity. What's the conventional thinking on steel rims versus alloy rims?
