It's not necessarily what the wheel is made of that is going to make
your car handle better.  THe main factors will be the rim size and
weight.  Higher diameter rims and lower profile tires will help out
greatly for handling, but you only need extra width if you find yourself
breaking the tires loose excessivly.  Otherwise alloys just look nice.
