How choosing the right wheels helps in performance and style

Rims have a sizeable impact on your vehicle’s performance and looks. Knowing how rims affect a vehicle's drivability and style helps you select the best rims for your needs.

A comfortable drive needs high a performance wheel. Aside from the material, the size also matters.

• Increasing the car rim diameter shortens the tire’s sidewall. This improves the grip on the road, handling and steering response. Widening rim can also increase stability which is not the case if it’s only made taller.
• To achieve a more noticeable rim and enhance performance, plus sizing (a concept that increases the rim’s diameter and using a tire with a shorter sidewall) can be done. This lets you change a 16 inch rim with a different 17, 18, and 20 inch rims thereby increasing handling. Just keep in mind though that too big rims can cause slowdowns and reduce effectivity of anti-lock braking.
• Usually, rims can be an alloy of aluminium or steel. Alloy wheels are lightweight and aids the suspension to reduce vibration and impact but is less durable when compared to the heavier steel. Alloy wheels also dissipate heat effectively.

As for the style, there are endless possibilities:

• Manufacturers create car wheels with different spokes designs, pattern and colours.
• Chromes are great to add sheen, but black rims add that extra curb-side appeal. Coloured accents provide a customised look!
• If you want your ride to stand out, larger rims are also a go.
