Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of fitting alloy wheels?
Alloy wheels enhance your vehicle's appearance, reduce unsprung weight for precise steering, improve heat dissipation from brakes, and offer better handling when cornering.
How do I choose the correct wheel for my vehicle?
Ensure the wheel fits properly by considering four aspects: Pitch Circle Diameter (P.C.D.), Offset, Centre Bore, and Diameter.
What is P.C.D. (Pitch Circle Diameter)?
P.C.D. refers to the diameter of the circle that passes through the center of all the studs, wheel bolts, or wheel rim holes. Proper P.C.D. ensures secure fitting.
What is the importance of offset in wheels?
Offset is the distance between the wheel's mounting surface and its centerline. Correct offset ensures proper clearance and handling.
Why is Centre Bore important?
Centre Bore is the diameter of the wheel's center hole, ensuring it fits snugly onto the vehicle’s hub. Incorrect fitment can cause vibrations and uneven wear.
What does rim diameter and width mean?
Rim size is expressed as width x diameter (e.g., 7J x 15). Width is the distance between the flanges, and diameter is the wheel's height.
What is X-Factor in wheel fitment?
X-Factor refers to the built-in clearance for the vehicle's brake caliper and rotor assembly. Ensure proper fitment before use.
How do I understand wheel load capacity?
Load capacity indicates the maximum weight a wheel can support. It varies based on the number of lugs, P.C.D., material, and axle type.
What is Plus-Sizing and Up-Stepping?
These practices involve increasing wheel diameter while reducing tire profile, enhancing handling and maintaining overall rolling radius.
What are some fitment and safety tips?
Check P.C.D., ensure proper clearance, tighten bolts/nuts to manufacturer specifications, and re-torque after 100 km to ensure safety.
How do I care for my alloy wheels?
Keep wheels clean to protect the finish. Use mild soap and water, avoid harsh cleaners, and maintain them like your vehicle’s paint.
