Question:

Answers:

ive been driving my car all day it seems fine park it then get in again 5mins later and its dead?

Chromed steel wheels can rust in areas prone to it (like the northern half of the U.S.) Aluminum (also called alloy) wheels are more prone to scratches from things hitting them. I would just get whatever you think looks best, but you could always get chromed aluminum wheels, so you have the gleam of chrome without the rust of aluminum.

Should you change both headlamps on your car at the same time?

alloy/aluminium are one of the same. They are a mix of metals mostly aluminium thats why they are called alloy. Chrome wheels are more durable and shiny. but if chrome wheels are scratched they rust as with alloy you can sand a polish a scratch out.
