Gabe's Tire Shop Wheel Buying Guide

Alloy Wheels: Lightweight wheels that improve cornering, steering precision, and braking response.
Steel Wheels: Heavier wheels that provide a lower center of gravity, ideal for harsh road conditions like snow or rugged terrain.
Chrome Wheels: A visually appealing finish applied to alloy or steel wheels, known for their metallic shine, durability, and strength. Regular cleaning is required to maintain their appearance.

Wheels & Rims: The Manufacturing Process

Cast Wheels: Manufactured by pouring molten aluminum into a mold using gravity or pressure casting.
Machined Wheels: Created through a combination of casting, heating, spinning, and precise pressurization to shape the wheel.
Forged Wheels: Made by molding a solid piece of aluminum under high heat and extreme pressure, resulting in a light, dense, and strong wheel.

Choosing the Right Wheels

The right set of wheels depends on your vehicle's characteristics and desired ride quality. Consider the following:

Size: Ensure the wheel size is compatible with your vehicle's maximum allowance.
Weight: Lighter wheels improve maneuverability and braking, while heavier wheels reduce handling and increase braking distance.
Terrain: Choose wheels based on the type of terrain you drive on most often.
