Wheel Upgrade
Right now I have my stock 15" steelies, and don't have a lot of cash and was thinking about getting the 15" stock si wheels. They are not very expensive and seem to be a decent upgrade. I was wondering if there is any advantage of going with those over steelies? Would it give me a smoother ride or better handling or anything?
Thank you!

They might be slighly lighter which might give slightly better acceleration. Other then that's it's purely for looks my friend...

The only thing that will help is aluminum is a better heat sink than steel, helps the rotors cool, but you won't feel that.
