Everyone is talking about alloy wheels these days. It is the hottest accessory on a car be it a small car or luxury cars. Alloy wheels are the preferred decoration on a car for modification enthusiasts. All wheel technology has allowed hot rodders and muscle car enthusiasts to be encouraged to aspire for greater speeds. It has inspired a new generation of performance savvy- car drivers. Why are alloy wheels such a craze now!

Apart from their lightweight, alloy wheels improve steering and speed of car. They come with an endless choice of design too. They can be fit on any car, pick-truck or an SUV. Let us look into what is an alloy wheel.

The alloy wheels are formed or either aluminum or magnesium or sometime both the metals. The term alloy means the process of combining other raw materials to a specification to achieve a performance metal. Alloy wheels are better heat conductors than steel wheels, which helps improve heat dissipation from the brakes and helps reduce chances for brake failure in tough driving conditions.

Alloy wheels made of magnesium were popularized in 1960’s, however they were prone to flammability and offered poor corrosive resistance. That is when wheel manufacturers shifted to the more stable aluminum. Just like the steel wheels, alloys are formed by either casting or forging mechanism.

Advantages of alloy versus steel wheels

Steel wheel are standard type wheels sold in high volumes. Alloys offer exclusivity.

Steel wheels have limitation during high performance driving. Alloys offer better stability and strength during high performance driving.

The total weight of the wheels, tires, suspension and drivetrain equipments contribute to the  weight of the car. This affects ride quality and traction during high speed driving. Since alloy wheel weight one third of steel wheels, they help reduced weight. They help improve acceleration, traction, and braking due to reduced weight. The unintentional but a definite advantage is that fuel economy increases. (more…)
