Just to extend this pointless thread further ...

'Alloy' means that they're using an alloy that's specific to the purpose (i.e. wheels). The implication is that a metallurgist thought about the specific alloys needed for the part and that it's not a standard mix.

I am confused by the term "Alloy rims"
