What to consider when buying rims

The dizzying developments in automobile technology in a short time show itself in the design of wheels as well as the engine and bodywork. Especially the changes in the weight, dimensions, construction and design of the rim, the performance of the cars and
significantly increases road holding. However, recent research shows that the rim is also effective in cooling the brake system. Therefore, while preparing the rim, attention is paid to be as durable as possible and also with the sleeves. As the car travels, the air circulated by the rotation of the rim is transmitted through the arms to the brake disc, thus making the brakes more efficient.

How should it be measured?

Elements such as the engine power, weight and size of the car play a big role in determining the rim dimensions. In order for a high power engine to transfer its power to the road, it must have good traction, and the tire surface must be of appropriate width. Therefore, the tire and wheel width must be compatible. Starting from 12 inches for small class cars, the rim diameter is up to 20 inches for large and high performance cars. The durability of the rim material is also an important factor. Especially considering the road conditions in our country, the strength of the rim becomes more important. Because a poor quality wheel can cause fatal accidents if it is not impact resistant. The wheels, which are divided into two groups as steel and light metal alloy, are developed with the experience gained from motorsports. Thus, it is provided to be more durable and long lasting. Produced in different weight and durability with the participation of aluminum, steel, titanium, magnesium and carbonfiber material, the wheels can be single or multi-piece.

Multi-piece more advantageous

An important advantage of a wheel consisting of two or three parts is that it gets healthier and repairable. When the rim of the rim is damaged by any impact, it is only possible to replace that part. However, when a one-piece rim is damaged, it is necessary to replace it with a new one. Another convenience of the multi-piece rim is that it can be used in all types of cars.

When using spacers of different sizes, the rim of the rim is positioned inward or outward relative to the body. Thus, the power of the vehicle to hold on the ground is increased by changing the track width. The section called the hub of the rim also affects the self width of the tires. The offset value, internationally denoted by the letters ET, refers to the distance of the outer rim of the rim (line O) from the hub.

The most important thing to consider when buying wheels is not to exceed the values determined by the manufacturers. Many wheels in Turkey both domestic and imported brands. Wheels must have a certificate of conformity to TSE standards.

This is the case, the red stripe is very bad on the edge of the multi-piece ...

Thanks for sharing, it is an important and most common application wheel + tire business ...

It was really necessary information, thank you
