Searching For Wire Wheels For Cars

By Kevin Clark


A cost effective and simple way to customize your vehicle is to fit a set of wire rims. Most cars are manufactured and fitted with alloy or steel wheels as standard but putting on an aftermarket set can make a big difference to the looks of a vehicle. If you are searching for wire wheels for cars there are a large number of suppliers and some care is needed before you buy.

Many car parts retailers will stock wire rims that are suitable for a large number of modern cars and some classic models. There are many color and size options to choose from and you will find something that suits most budgets. You can also find rims offered for sale on the net and these suppliers will usually have huge stocks and there is some useful information on the web sites.

Another option is to purchase some second hand wheels to put on your vehicle. This is a cost effective way of modifying your vehicle and you may find sets from as little as a couple of hundred bucks. Some of these rims may need some reconditioning work and there are specialist companies that provide this service.

At the higher end of the market you can purchase a custom set of rims for your car. Depending on the size and number of spokes, they usually start from around a couple of thousand dollars per set. The spinners or center caps to secure the wheel can also be customized and decorated with a design of your choice.

When you choose to purchase and fit a set of new wire rims it is recommended that you do some in depth research before purchasing. You will need to check that there is enough clearance for the larger rims and some modifications may be needed to the car. Other components such as suspension and brakes may also need some adjustment or modification depending on the model of vehicle.

When you fit new rims it is important to check that you have the appropriate tools which should be kept in the car. Most wire rims are secured with a spinner or single nut and the original tools supplied with your car will not fit. Wire wheel suppliers can provide the necessary tools when you buy your rims.

Maintenance of wire rims is also important and something to think carefully about. Cleaning the individual spokes can be very time consuming and tedious and there are some useful tips which can help. Soft brushes, old shoe laces and rags can all be used to get into awkward areas. You will also need to remove all four rims periodically to clean behind and inspect them for any corrosion or wear.

It is advisable to ask the advice of a qualified auto engineer to make sure that any alterations to your vehicle are done correctly before fitting aftermarket rims. Your local auto store will also be happy to advise you and check what needs to be done. It is a good idea to store your old wheels and they can be re fitted if you change the car in the future.
