Alloy wheels are typically made from a blend of aluminum rather than steel, making them lighter in weight while often being larger than standard factory-fitted steel wheels. The aluminum allows better heat dissipation, while the addition of stronger metals in the mix increases durability and helps prevent the spread of cracks.

PCD stands for ‘pitch circle diameter’ and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheel’s bolt holes. P.C.D. is measured in millimeters and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have.

Alloy wheels are made from aluminum or magnesium blends, making them lighter and better at heat dissipation compared to heavier steel wheels.

Larger rims can enhance handling and appearance, but they may reduce ride comfort and fuel efficiency if not properly matched with the right tires.

Yes, minor bends or scratches can often be repaired, but severe cracks usually require full replacement for safety.

The correct rim size depends on your vehicle’s specifications and driving needs. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for safety and performance.
