THE PERFECT WHEELS FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Alloy wheels are available in a multitude of sizes and colors.
Learn more about the advantages of these options in this article.
WHEEL SIZE
Are you looking to stay with the OEM size? If you simply want to change
the look of your vehicle, it can be a good decision as you’ll be able to
install your stock tires on the new wheels. To completely change the look of
the vehicle, you can choose to upsize to a bigger diameter. This will
drastically improve the look of the vehicle by filling the extra space in the
wheel wells. On the other hand, if you are looking for winter wheels,
downsizing an inch or two from the OE specs is a good choice, allowing to have
a taller tire profile for better handling in the snow.
FINISH
With the different finishes now available on
the market, you will have to decide if you want to install colourful wheels or
a more classic finish like silver or black. On modern cars from the past
decade, the black machined two-tone finish is very popular and there is a great
selection of aftermarket wheels with that specific finish. Selecting the
correct wheel colour will greatly depend on the vehicle’s colour. You might be
looking for a tone-on-tone look, for a classic silver finish or for a more subtle
all black finish.
ALL YEAR LONG OR SEASONAL USE
This will determine what finishes you can or can’t use depending on the
seasons when you are using the wheels. For a wheel that will be used in winter,
snow and abrasives, it is recommended to get a “solid” colour like silver or
matte black. Two-tone wheels are not recommended for winter use and they should
be, like brightly coloured wheels, reserved for summer temperature (or all year
long for states without snowy winter).
