Wheel Buying Guide
Alloy Wheels
Alloy wheels are light wheels with improved performance characteristics. These light wheels increase cornering and steering precision and decrease road feedback for better braking response.
Steel Wheels
Steel wheels are heavier wheels that give vehicles a lower center of gravity. They are perfect for harsh road conditions in the snow or off-road over rugged terrain but lack other performance capabilities because of the added weight.
Chrome Finish
Chrome is an aesthetically pleasing finish applied to both alloy and steel wheels. Drivers concerned with cosmetic appearance prefer chrome wheels. While they are known for their metallic mirrored shine, durability, and strength, they require regular attention and cleaning to maintain their visual appeal.
Wheels and Rims: The Manufacturing Process
Cast Wheels
Aluminum wheels are manufactured by pouring molten aluminum into a mold. The shape of the wheel is formed through a process of gravity or pressure casting.
Machined Wheels
The machining process combines casting, heating, spinning, and precise pressurization to fill a mold with molten aluminum and shape the wheel.
Forged Wheels
Forging takes a solid piece of aluminum and molds the wheel through high heat and extreme pressure. The result is a light, dense, and strong wheel.
Choose the Best Wheels for Your Vehicle
The right wheels should match your vehicle specifications, driving conditions, and preferred appearance. Before choosing wheels for your car, truck, or SUV, consider:
- Size and fitment: Wheel diameter, width, bolt pattern, offset, and clearance must be appropriate for the vehicle.
- Weight: Wheel weight can affect steering response, braking, ride quality, and overall performance.
- Terrain and use: Daily commuting, performance driving, towing, and off-road use may require different wheel characteristics.
- Style and finish: Compare designs and finishes that complement the vehicle and fit your maintenance preferences.
