Customize Your Car With Wheels And Rims

Post 1900's, the aftermarket for cars' wheels and rims has become huge. Everyone wants to customize their car with the latest and trendiest set of wheels. You car can look more trendy within minutes of installing the latest set of custom wheels and rims. But selecting the right one is extremely important.

Types of custom wheels and rims

There are many different types of wheels and rims that you can find in the market. But not every one of them is designed for your car. You can get everything from the basic 5 spoke ally wheels to the more advanced chrome spinning wheels, which are a fad nowadays.

Appearance - Alloy and Steel

If you are just concerned about the appearance, then select the custom wheels and rims that you feel will suit your car the best. But if you are looking at racing, then choose an ally wheel as it is much lighter and will give your car the power it desires. Steel rims are much heavier and will slow down your vehicle. Alloy is also good for city traffic and prevents over heating of the brake system.

Installing larger than factory custom wheels and rims will give your car or SUV a sporty look. Find a one that matches the bolt pattern of the car. Ask the sales person at the store to choose the right offset for your vehicle. If this is not correct it will lead to problems in handling and steering of the vehicle.

Pricing

If you pay less, you will end up compromising on quality. If you go for slightly expensive wheels and rims, then you will get the look as well as the quality that you want. In comparison to brick and mortar stores, prices at the online stores are very less. The advantage of buying wheels and rims at the brick and mortar stores is that you can see, touch and have a feel of your custom wheels and rims.

It is not hard to choose the right wheel and rim for your car if you are know what you want and aware of the choices available.

Why do car wheels look as if they are spinning backwards on film?

I've noticed this on many TV shows, films and adverts- it always looks as if the wheels are spinning backwards as the car drives forward at speed- why is this?

Hi there.
What you are seeing is a well known optical illusion that only occurs at certain speeds (in real life too, it is just easier to see on film - try it with a spinning top). As a wheel spins faster, it gets too fast for the eye to focus on - with persistence of vision (which is where the brain stores what it has already seen and builds on top of that base image) any spot on the wheel will appear first to stop still and then with an increase of speed will appear to go backwards.

Simply put, the spot on the wheel you are attempting to focus on will not quite reach the same position in the time it takes your eye to notice it has moved - so it appears to go backwards.
Cheers, Steve.
