noob question on wheelcovers to rims upgrade

759 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  RicerYan
i have an lx civic and have been thinking about gettin rims, but i really see no point to it since the wheelcovers look decent. is there any reason y i should upgrade to rims besides for looks? will rims improve performance for everyday use? i always assumed that the wheelcovers + tire is lighter since its not metal.

It's not the plastic wheel covers that are heavy, it's the steel wheels they are hiding. I would think that most, if not all alloy wheels would weigh in lower than a steel wheel of equal dimensions.
