Default Replacing Alloy Wheels on 97 accord - what to look for?

My alloy wheels on my 97 accord are showing corrosion, scuffs and
chipped paint on the wheel caps, I would like to replace them with some
aftermarket alloys. Asthesitics aside, what should I look for in new
alloys in as far as construction (2-piece 3-piece casts etc.). In
regards to improving or maintaining ride and handling is lighter
better? How can I get a rough idea on the durability of the finish or
resistance to scuffing (from curbs etc.) Can anyone recommend some good
national chain retailers to get alloys at a competitive price?
Thanks
