Some people buy new rims to jazz up the appearance and make their
vehicle look sexy. Others buy after market wheels to improve the
performance of their vehicle. When you get a mix of appearance and
performance in your rims you can actually improve gas mileage as well
as the handling of your vehicle.

Alloy wheels may actually reduce wear and tear on your brakes. Alloy
rims reduce the heat that results during braking.

And lastly, unique and sexy wheels will definitely add value when it
comes time to sell.

So, remember, buying new wheels can be fun and you can save a lot of
money by shopping online.

I would say new rims would be a waste of money.

   I agree with you, boxing.  NOW, that is.  A few years back, I'd opt for
the rims over the ac!  At my present age, if I had to choose between the
two, I'd want air cond. instead of fancy rims.  ...reckon different people
still value things differently.  s

I agree too. I think it is mostly money thrown away.
At one time we thought we were getting lighter rims and more precise ones as
well.
Neither is necessarily true.
