    How To Choose The Right Wheels For Your Car

    A new set of car wheels can provide your car with the upgrade it needs to make it look more refined and sleek, or alternatively stand out. Before switching out your old car wheels for something custom-made, it is worth taking time to research what sizes of the wheel can safely fit your car and what colours, design, and style best suit your car. 

    To help you improve the overall look of your car by replacing its worn generic wheels with new car wheels, here is a list of what to consider when looking for the right car wheels.

    Check Different Wheel Sizes 

    When getting new car wheels, the first thing people often consider is the available sizes and which tires are the best fit. There is a range of car wheel sizes and tire types, fortunately, it is possible to find Michelin tires in Canada to suit all kinds of car wheels and vehicles. It is worth remembering not all new car rims will look great on any car and the size of the wheels should be tailored to the style of the car. 

    The most commonly used car wheels have diameters of 14” or 16”, although older cars may be better suited to smaller wheels of around 14 inches in diameter. If you are looking for more performance from your car, then 19-inch wheels will fit tires that offer increased traction. 

    Before going out and buying new wheels, you or a mechanic will need to work out the wheels’ bolting pattern and measure if the clearance between the wheel wells and the tires is enough to prevent interference with braking and steering. 

    Choose a Style of Wheel 

    If you want to add further flair to your car, you can add colored wheels in shades that match the primary color on the body of your car. A good way to choose the right color car wheels is to incorporate them into existing features of the car such as racing stripes, decals, the style of the car, and the design of lights. 

    The choice of car wheels is definitely a personal one, and something that should be considered carefully to ensure the rims fit well, don’t interfere with performance, or look tacky. 

    Alloy wheels are the most popular car wheel on the market and are available in a variety of designs to suit a range of different cars. Alloy wheels are more expensive than forged steel wheels, however, they are lighter weight and help to reduce fuel consumption. 

    Consider the Cost 

    When shopping for new car wheels, it is well worth considering your budget and how much you are willing to spend on upgrading your car. A set of brand-new car wheels can cost anywhere between $400 to $1500 or more depending on the quality and specifications of the model. 

    Additional costs will be incurred if you are planning on hiring a professional fitter to change your car wheels, this will generally set you back $20-40 per wheel. 

    Switching out boring and ugly car rims can be simple if you have the budget and can go to a trained fitter. However, taking the time to figure out what size and style wheels best suit your car is important.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
