Stay with wires and go for a 5" or 5.5" rim.
Alloy wheels are just as easily damaged as wires (kerbs etc) and need more
cleaning if they are going to look decent rather than pitted and nasty though
the latter depends if they salt the roads that you drive on in the winter.
With a 100bhp motor and full racing starts I have yet to have a problem with
inner tubes, I think the consensus is that you need 200bhp at the wheels for
those type of problems to start.

since the car is a daily driver I suspect that maintenance on the alloy
