Quality, integrity, and value — these are important
factors for you to consider making a custom wheels purchase.
Creating Quality,
Product Integrity and Value
Custom wheels are available in a wide range of styles from
around the world. A top manufacturer will scrutinize the quality of their wheels,
setting very stringent guidelines of their own.
Manufacturers who want to supply to the O.E.M.
(original equipment manufacturers) market must follow certain
additional
procedures during the design, testing and manufacturing
process to maintain a consistently high quality product.
All of the wheel manufacturers supplying to our preferred
merchant use manufacturing processes that meet or exceed
strict O.E.M. requirements.
From winter package wheels that require less sophisticated
technology to the high stress demands of rims for racing applications,
our preferred merchant deals only with manufacturers that can provide
custom wheels for every
driving need.
One common denominator in manufacturing processes is the
ability to
consistently create wheels to a specified size.
But a properly sized custom rim is more than a round disc of an exact
diameter.
To properly fit on a vehicle a wheel must have the proper
bolt pattern, centerbore, offset, width and, most importantly,
the proper load capacity for the vehicle.
Load carrying capacity, important no matter what the
vehicle, is critical in wheels for light trucks or sport
utility vehicles.
You might feel that these types of vehicles have a load
capacity that has been set high to allow this vehicle to
perform off-road. But that’s not the case.
A good portion of the additional load comes from the fact
that custom wheels on light trucks and SUVs are supporting tires with
a much larger outside diameter than standard passenger vehicle
tires, thus exerting much higher forces on the wheel.
For this reason always verify the load capacity of any
custom rim that you are going to install on any vehicle to make
sure it meets or exceeds that of original equipment wheels.
You'll
Always Get The Right For Your Vehicle
Custom
wheels recommended for your vehicle are offered only if they have sufficient load
carrying capacity as well as all the exact wheel dimensions
and attributes specific to your vehicle.
All
Things Considered ...
Back to quality, integrity and value.
Working closely with the manufacturers, every aspect of fit
and function is taken into consideration before any wheel is
offered for sale by our merchant.
You'll see that quality, in the finish and design of every
wheel in our preferred merchants collection.
You'll respect ... as we do, the integrity of the
companies who produce these wheels and become more aware of the
importance of attention to proper fitment attributes when you
feel the performance benefits on the road.
