Tips To Choose Your Car Wheels

Here's some Tips To Share With




Most of us like to change car rim without any right informations.
There are many other practical reasons why you should really pay careful attention when you are considering to purchase car rims.

Having the right car rims on your car can greatly improve the control and performance of your car on the roads. This translates directly into a more comfortable drive for you and your passengers as well as greater road safety while traveling in your car.


Some of them choose the wrong rim for their car. It is dangerous for safety. Let’s share this tips :-

1. For racing performance, light alloy wheels are the best type to use. Steel rims are no good, they will only slow your automobile down. Heavy wheels add unnecessary weight to your car, which in return lower the driving performance.

2. For driving in traffic area, then alloy wheels are a great choice. Alloy rims actually offer cool air flow over your car’s brake system which will prevent overheating. Alloy aluminum wheels are lighter than chrome or steel wheels you can also improve your gas mileage slightly.

3. Big rims may be the coolest, but the rims, tires, and wheels you choose all depend on what you use your car for.. Whenever you choose a set of custom rims and wheels, you have to consider both the radius and the width of the wheel:

• Wheel radius refers to the total distance from the center point of the wheel to the edge of the wheel. Double the value of the radius and you get the wheel diameter. Most daily driving cars have 17 to 20 inch wheels, which are perfect for all-around control and the longevity of your car parts.

• Wheel width. The wheelbase and the width of your tires determine the width of your rims and wheels. A larger wheel width results in more stability, but makes the car more difficult to turn without the aid of power steering. A narrow wheel width allows your car to turn faster, but is more likely to turn over on high speeds.


There are many types of rim design. Here are some rim designs you may want to consider:

• Spoke wheels. If you have expensive, high-performance brakes, you may want to try spoke wheels. Spoke wheels are quite stable, and are perfect for showing off the inner workings of your vehicle.
• Wire rims. For vintage cars, classic sports cars, and muscle cars, a set of rims built with wire spokes give you that clean, vintage body-shop look most classics have.
• Chrome spinners. If you want to add that extra bit of bling to your vehicle, a set of chrome spinners will definitely make your vehicle a looker on the road. The spinner rim is loosely attached to the actual rim of the vehicle, and moves independently of the actual rim through an electrical system or a gear mechanism. Some chrome spinner rims also have neon or LED lighting in between the spinner rim and the actual rim.





Hope this information can help you to choose the best rim for your car.

Happy hunting!
