Hi, I current have 16 inch steel wheels and have two questions.

1) Is there a benefit to swapping to oem alloy wheels (same size) besides the look ?
2) The used set of alloys im looking to buy has curb rash, is there any point in swapping the driver side and passenger side rims to make the curb rash less noticeable when parked?

edit: are the 16inch aluminum rims actually heavier than the steel? Thats what i see on honda parts.

If you never rotate the tires and only see people from one side it's a great idea.

I have directional tires, so rotating doesnt affect that.
