Vehicle & Rims Selection

1
I have always thought that I would one day like
to be able to have some very nice looking rims
put on my vehicle.
2
Unfortunately, I am a college student, so
finances are tight.
3
With that said though once I graduate, and have a
better paying position I will definitely be
considering the different considerations for the
rims I will have installed on my car.
4
With that said for those of you who are in the
market for a nice pair of rims I would like to
educate you on the numerous considerations that
you will need to be aware of.
5
One of the first things that a buyer should
consider is the color of the rims they want to
purchase.
6
With that said some drivers may want to stick to
a simple silver color rim, or be a bit more
adventurous and select a color that match the
color of the rest of their vehicle.
7
With the color selected the next aspect to
consider is the features of the rims.
8
A driver must consider if they want the rims to
sparkle or have some kind of insignia on them.
9
These features may have an additional fee
associated with them, so buyers who are a bit
more financial sensitive may want to avoid
looking at these kinds of rims.
10
The first size is probably the most commonly
known and that is the diameter of the rim.
11
The most common sizes for these are 16 inches and
17 inches.
12
The second size is the width of the rim the
smaller the size the more narrow the rim and vice
versa.
13
The third size and the one most people do not
know is the offset of the rim.
14
The offset is the distance from the mounting
point to the inside edge of the rim.
15
The offset is probably the most important size to
check.
16
If it is too small the tire could be hitting the
inside of the fender well or not even reach the
studs to be mounted.
17
While on the other hand, if the size is too big
the tire could be poking out way too far past the
fenders.
18
When you are shopping for new rims for your car
the most important part to anyone is probably the
look that you want your car to have.
19
Remember though not every style of rim will fit
your car, so first check the sizing that you need
to fit then go through and check the style.
20
In conclusion, prospective consumers of rims
should be able to identify the different colors,
features, and size that they are looking for in
their purchase.
