The day has finally arrived.
After what feels like an eternity,
you have a car to call your own. As you sit behind the wheel and slowly turn
the keys, you can't help but to feel a sense of exhilaration. After all, how
often do you purchase a new car?
But as an enthusiast, you're not
content with leaving the car as it is. In fact, you already have your eyes set
on your next purchase—custom wheels. Replacing the wheels is one of the easiest
modifications that you can make to dramatically change your vehicle's
appearance. It's easy to overlook certain details when choosing custom wheels
for your car, so how do you find the right ones? Here are some considerations
to help with your purchase:
1. Performance
Size affects driving performance,
as
Car and Driver demonstrated when
they examined the effects of
different
wheel size configurations. While 19-inch wheels have a high aesthetic
appeal, the larger size compromises on performance. Both 17- and 18-inch wheels
offer the best balance in terms of grip, ride comfort, and steering feel. This
is one of the reasons that most sports cars (e.g., the Volkswagen GTI, BMW 4
Series, etc.) tend to have wheels that come in these sizes.
Installing wheels that are one or two inches larger than the factory
ones can help boost your car's driving performance, but if all you want is to
add style to your car then 19-inch wheels will be perfect.
2. Custom wheels come
in different materials
Alloy wheels, such as
Moto
metal wheels, offer better performance due to their lighter weight but also
come at a higher price. Steel wheels are heavier and can dampen driving
performance, from acceleration to agility; however, they're also much more cost
effective, making them ideal for those on a budget.
Both materials offer a wide range
of styles and finishes to suit your personal preferences, allowing you to
choose a color that matches your vehicle or something completely different.
3. How much are you
willing to pay?
Wheels can be purchased at
different price points, starting from several hundred dollars on the lower end
to several thousand for premium brands. Consider your priorities when you start
looking for new wheels: if you are more concerned with appearance or don't have
a lot of money, steel wheels would make more sense; if you care more about
performance than anything else, go with the alloy. Make sure to research the
specific brands, as well, so that you can get the best combination of quality
and lower costs.
Adding custom wheels is one of the
easiest ways to make your car truly stand out. Be sure to keep all these
