Car Wheel Types: Which One Is For You?

12/19/2019

Picture
​One of the first things you’ll notice on a car is its wheels, and it also happens to be one of its most essential parts. It contributes to your vehicle’s speed, braking, and overall maintenance requirements. If you're feeling a little lost on which tire-wheel you should get, read on as we shed some light on the selection process.
Chrome Tire Wheels
Car enthusiasts who want to class up their rides go for chrome wheels. You don't have to worry about these rims being pricey, however, because they aren't entirely made of chrome. These wheels are usually composed of steel or aluminum, finished with a chrome coating. The striking sheen of chrome can upgrade the look of any car. They're also relatively low maintenance since they are less prone to rust than other kinds of wheels, making it a cost-efficient choice.

Aluminum Tire Wheels
There are two classes of aluminum tire wheels: cast or forged aluminum. Cast aluminum rims are uniformly made in a single-piece mold into which molten aluminum is poured. From its name, forged aluminum rims are made by forging the metal into its shape using intense force. The main advantage of aluminum wheels is that they’re less likely to experience cracking. Aluminum tire wheels offer better speed since they're lightweight; forged aluminum wheels also can bear up against extreme pressure.

Alloy Tire Wheels
A mixture of aluminum and magnesium, alloy rims provide the most durability among car wheels. This combination of materials offers higher strength, making this long-lasting wheel a widely sought after option. They're also surprisingly just as lightweight as aluminum wheels. Both advantages make for a smoother and faster riding experience, with better handling on brakes.

Other Things to Consider
Car owners like to change up their wheels to give their ride a whole new look. If you have plans on doing the same, consider the size of the bikes you're picking out. While it's perfectly fine to select the exact wheel size for your car’s make and model, some car owners opt for bigger ones.

Going big gives your vehicle a more aesthetic look as a bigger wheel can close the gap between the tire and monocoque chassis (the car’s outer frame). Bigger wheels also get more road traction, resulting in better stability and brake handling. This upgrade will also cost you more in fuel consumption and decrease your speed due to the added weight.

Freshen up your car’s look and overall performance with a new set of wheels. The right kind of rims can make or break your driving experience, and even save you costs on gas and upkeep. Being a responsible car owner is not just about getting the best parts, but it's also about preparing for the future by getting a decent auto insurance policy.
