If you get some new alloys, you will need to clean them constantly, unlike the steel rims which you can ignore for years at at time.
This will keep you gainfully employed and give you practice in cleaning and polishing which 'might' be transferrable to other areas of the home?????

And don't forget, she won't have the constant worry of wheeltrims falling off and needing replacement at vast expense.

She won't have to drive you home from the pub anymore, because if she did, she might kerb your smart new alloys?

GIVE UP ! there are no good reasons - just get them anyway, it'll look much better

My father gave my step-mother a concrete mixer as a Christmas present, so you should get away with some wheels, no problem

PS she didn't kill him!!
