SmellyTofu does have a point regarding OEM alloys vs aftermarket. While there are very nice quality aftermarket alloys available, there are also many that are really poor. Choose aftermarket wheels carefully; sometimes light, inexpensive wheels can be problematic. The old saying about "getting what you pay for" comes to mind...

OEM alloys are the safe choice. They're not the lightest, but the car company has tested them and they're probably as durable as the stock steel wheels.
