How to select alloy wheels

 

Offset size cannot be ignored when we select alloy wheels

 

After figuring out how we should choose the size of the wheel and the corresponding tires, we can go to the next step. In this step there is still a lot of information worthy of our attention. First of all, the most basic is the PCD. The hole is the number of locked nuts when the wheel is fixed. At present, most cars have adopted a 5-hole design, there are still a small number of models use 4 holes, such as Jetta and Gault, also there are some off-road vehicles with 6 holes. From the view of quantity and style of products on the market, selection for 5-hole wheels is more than others. It should be noted that the hole diameter is not suitable for the hub may also be successfully installed, but there will be some security risks (the wheels may be jitter when car is in high-speed), we should try to avoid this situation.

 

Wheels will be in the situation of brake calipers and even shocks when Offset is too large

 

In addition, many people will ignore the offset. So-called offset, also known as the ET, that is the center line of the wheel to the hub fixed surface deviation distance. The smaller the offset is, the greater the position of the wheel. If the ET is too large, it is possible for wheels to friction with the shock, brake calipers and so on. It will cause terrible loss if we don’t solve the ET problem in advance, so the owner should be very careful. There is also a way to solve the offset problem-- plus the pitch pad, put it plain is to extension the wheels. General gaskets are made of aluminum alloy, the thickness is not more than 10mm, and each wheel position must only add one.
