    Three Types of Wheels for Your Car or Truck

    The world’s biggest tire weighs over 5.5 tonnes and is over 4.2 meters tall. Imagine if you had four of those on your car, traffic would never be an issue as you would drive over the other vehicles. However, traffic officers would arrest you before having much fun with the wheels.

    As much as wheels contribute to the performance of the car, they have become an accessory too. If you want to upgrade the look of your car, invest in some new car wheels.

    Different types of wheels vary in functionality. Keep reading this article to learn more about car wheels.

    1. Steel Wheels

    If you’re working with a low budget, steel wheels would be ideal for you. They are the most affordable in the market.

    Steel wheels are the most durable as they can withstand extreme weather conditions. They are more suitable for trucks or heavy cars.

    Their heavyweight alters the suspension of the car and messes with stability. Yet, the heavy traction can be an advantage when driving on icy roads.

    Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, both hard metals. It can be hard to manipulate into flashy designs.

    Therefore, steel wheels have the conventional look. If you are more concerned about functionality than style, go for steel wheels.

    2. Alloy Wheels

    If you want a long-term solution, it’s better to buy alloy wheels. Despite their high upfront price, they’ll save you a lot of costs in the long run.

    Mag wheels are light, making them ideal for small vehicles. You can accelerate faster and not worry about the stability of your vehicle.

    Their lightweight plays a big role in reducing fuel consumption. A feature that makes them popular among auto dealers.

    The flexibility of the alloy allows manufacturers to form various designs. Check them out at https://www.ozzytyres.com.au/news/4×4-mag-wheels-for-sale/.

    3. Forged and Cast Wheels

    Manufacturers make car wheels either through forging or casting them. When casting, manufacturers pour molten alloy into a wheel-shaped mould. They allow some cooling time before making some final touches.

    Right after that, they trim and drill out the wheel for mounting. The production is fast and uses fewer resources than most processes. Thus, the wheel is less expensive for the customer.

    Due to the curing process, cast wheels can form cracks when put under a lot of pressure. It’s the main reason why most car owners choose forged wheels despite the higher buying price.

    Manufacturers make forged wheels by shaping a block of aluminium into a wheel rim. After that, they put the wheel under high pressure to increase its strength. They are much stronger and lighter than cast wheels.

    Different Types of Wheels

    Most drivers upgrade their wheels and tires for the fun of it. However, it’s wise to factor in the functionality aspects of the wheel.

    You might buy a cheap wheel only for it to cost you more in the long run. Take time to go through the various types of wheels before buying one.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
