Need to replace your vehicle’s wheels? Vehicle owners in the Scarborough, Ontario area can rely on Hogan Chevrolet to find the right wheels for their needs and preferences. Wondering what drivers should keep in mind when wheel shopping? Below, we’ve highlighted the most important details drivers need to know about vehicle wheels.
Getting the Right Wheel Size for Your Vehicle
Drivers should take care when deciding what size wheels they want to equip to their vehicle. The larger the wheel and accompanying tire, the more grip the vehicle will have to the surface below. Larger wheels are better for off-roading, as they increase both ground clearance and traction. By contrast, smaller wheels will provide greater ride comfort and sharper handling on the open road.
What Type of Wheels Should You Buy?
There are many different types of wheels available for modern vehicles. To help drivers understand their available options, we’ve broken down the most common types they’ll encounter when wheel shopping.
- Cast Alloy Wheels: The most common type of wheel on the market, these wheels are light and fuel-efficient. However, their lightweight design also makes them less durable than other options.
- Steel Wheels: Steel wheels are built for utility and durability. These wheels are the perfect choice for drivers who regularly travel off-road, or in poor road/weather conditions.
- Forged Alloy Wheels: Forged alloy wheels strike a happy medium between cast alloy and steel wheels. While they don’t provide the same efficiency as cast alloy or the durability of steel, they are the preferred option for drivers who value versatility.
