Well-chosen rims will ensure the safety of you and your family

2015-02-02

When deciding to change the steel rims to aluminum ones, first of all, we want to improve the appearance of your vehicle. New, shiny rims are able to increase the aesthetic value of the car several times. As large as possible allus, drawing only the attention of passers-by, reduce the driving comfort and safety while driving . They affect the faster wear of the suspension components. You cannot forget about it and be guided only by your emotions when choosing. What about a beautiful rim, if it suddenly breaks in contact with a larger hole, exposing us and our fellow passengers to a dangerous situation.

Aluminum rims are synonymous not only with an attractive appearance, but also high safety while driving . They significantly accelerate heat dissipation from the brakes , and are also more durable than their steel counterparts. However, this only applies to good quality, proven rims, not the cheapest substitutes.

Good rims, what are they?

The first choice that awaits us when buying alloy wheels is the size of the rim . The manufacturer of the car comes with the help in making this decision, which in the car's manual lists the permissible rim sizes for a specific model . The most important is the minimum value? Under no circumstances should you install rims smaller than recommended by the manufacturer! If we dream of a rim larger than the standard one, it is worth using the help of experienced sellers and advisers when choosing. Almost all 15-inch alloy wheels can be replaced with larger ones? 16- or even 18-inch ones, making the car more attractive. It should be remembered that a larger rim means the need to purchase a tire with a lower profile , which will have a direct impact on the behavior of the car on the road.

When adjusting the rim to your car, you should also pay attention to parameters such as the number and spacing of mounting bolts, centering hole or seating . The data on the fastening screws must coincide one hundred percent, for the others there are special adapter rings.

When we choose the right size of the rim, we have to choose a specific copy . It is certain that we should stay away from the cheapest solutions . This is the only certain selection criterion. It is also good to pay attention to the approvals and approvals that confirm the approval of the product for sale in our country, as they meet the minimum safety requirements.

The rim selection should also depend on the conditions in which we plan to use the vehicle. There are several methods of manufacturing rims, each of which guarantees different properties. Rims produced by the low-pressure method are durable and durable, obtained by gravity, above all, cheap, but also sensitive to imperfections of the road surface, while forged and rolled rims are almost unrivaled in terms of reliability and high price.

Alusy buy wisely

Rim sellers often tempt buyers with incredibly low prices for? at first glance ? attractive looking hoops. We adhere to? they should be avoided. The products they offer are of low quality, their purchase goes hand in hand with a high risk of rapid damage to the rim, which may end in a collision or even a road accident. We recommend that you buy only proven and reliable solutions, which, despite a slightly higher price, will repay you with improved driving comfort and safety, even on uneven ground.
