I am having trouble making a decision between two sets of wheels.  One
option is a set of BBS alloys that I have had sitting around for a few years
and the other option is a set of stock alloys.  Both are 14" although the
alloys run wider tires (205s are on them now).  I thought that I was a steel
wheel purists and have never even mounted the bbs wheels but when I put the
alloys on my old van in preparation to sell it I have decided that I like
the way they look.  Currently I am thinking that steel is more reliable
and/or easier to fix and that the stock tire width will perform better and
am therefore probably not going to keep the alloys, but maybe it is time for
a change?  What does the collective wisdom of the list have to say?  Any
obvious reasons to go either way that I am overlooking?  Any flaws in my two
reasons stay with steel?

Photos of the two wheel sets can be found here:
