The rim is not only a part of appearance but also a part of performance. A beautiful rim matches the right vehicle model and brings significant overall visual effect. Multi spoke rims have the property of impact resistance, while less spoke rims can provide heat dissipation for the brake system. As for weight, many people will ask that the weight of all modified rims of the same size must be lower than that of the original rims. Take 18 inch rims as an example, the original rims are about 15kg, while the modified rims are about 10kg. In addition, the weight of the wheel rim is also directly related to the strength. The forging and spinning casting, which are popular at present, do have better strength and weight than spinning.
So how do we choose the rim that suits us?
First point, rim size. The rim size of different vehicles is different. First, select the appropriate rim size. The rims of cars are generally large, the flat ratio of tires is high, and the visual tension is good. In addition, it can improve the stability of vehicle handling. Generally speaking, the rim modification and upgrading shall not exceed 2 inches. Second point: rim width. The rim width is often referred to as the J value of the vehicle. Even if the size of tires is the same, the flat ratio and width of tires are different with different J values.
Therefore, rim width has a direct impact on tire selection. Third point: rim offset. The rim offset is the offset value of the tire. Different vehicles naturally have different offset values. This value is relatively small. After loading, the wheels are more out of the way. Most cars have positive values, but a few cars and some jeeps have negative offset values. Fourth, the overall appearance of the rim needs to be selected according to everyone’s aesthetic outlook and the original vehicle modification. At present, the forged light alloy rims, which are popular in the market, have greatly improved compared with the cast rims in the past, and their weight has been greatly reduced. The rims with complex structure really look beautiful and very classy, but it is too troublesome to clean. On the contrary, the simple rims look very dynamic.
