• Alloy wheels differ from normal steel  because of their lighter weight, which improves the steering and the speed of the car RIM  xb For passenger vehicles, alloy xb are not only for improved driving performance xb       and thus are not included as standard equipment on base models of many non-luxury vehicles, instead being marketed as optional add-ons or as part of a more expensive trim. However, alloy wheels have become considerably wheel wheel xb      There are different types of alloy wheels. Some are casted, which are the most commonly seen on the road, while others are forged. Forged wheels are lighter and stronger, yet much more expensive then casted alloy wheels. Forged wheels are typically purchased by enthusiasts, luxury/sport vehicle owners, or the affluent      recent trend in the industry includes joint venture partnerships being formed between offshore manufacturers and local importers/distributors such as PDW xb xb xb xb      They have the disadvantages of being rather expensive and not practical for most street vehicles. Aluminium wheels are often mistakenly called "mag wheels"xb wheel xb xb

wheel is a circular device that is capable of rotating on its axis, facilitating movement or transportation whilst supporting a load (mass), or performing labour in machines. Common examples are found in transport applications.      Plastic wheel covers (known in the UK as wheel trims) appeared in the 1970s and became mainstream in the 1980s. Plastic has largely replaced steel as the primary material for manufacturing hubcaps/trims, and where steel wheels are still used, the wheels are now generally painted black so the wheel is less visible through cutouts in the wheel trim. On modern xb automobiles, full-wheel hubcaps xb      This differs from the spinners that serve the same purpose for racing cars and those cars with wire wheels, which were designed to be quickly unthreaded by hand. Most hubcaps were once       Another variant of the wheel cover is that commonly manufactured by the German wheelmaking brand BBS. These are attached on to the wheel first, then bolted on as if the driver/mechanic is bolting the wheel to his car in the manner of changing their wheel. Commonly made from aluminium, they are designed to distribute airflow, therefore       Another thing to consider xbwhen new wheels are purchased is proper lug nuts or bolts. They are usually either flat, tapered (generally at 60 WHEEL xbdegrees and referred to as conical seat), or ball seats, meaning the mounting surfaces are xb      Tuner lug nuts utilize a special key to allow removal and installation with standard lug wrench or socket. The design of tuner lug nuts can range from bit style to multisided or spline drive , and are sometimes lightweight xb      The wheel size is the diameter of the wheel in inches wheelwhere the beads of the tire seat on the wheel.
