The Wheel Buying Guide

According to a recent survey, a large percentage of people modifying their vehicles choose wheels as the first modification. Wheels happen to be one of the most noticeable parts on a vehicle, and many people refer to getting new wheels as buying "new shoes." But because of the relatively high price of rims/tires compared to other parts on the car, buyers need to be extra careful, and even spend extra time researching the wheels, tires, and even the company they purchase the wheels from.


Here are a few important things to consider to know when purchasing wheels:

that's a pretty good guide. i think the only thing they missed was to check to make sure that you're lugs are the correct shape for the wheel (acorn, cone seat etc.).

The first popular mod is tinting! $300 vs $2000!!! Easy pick!

Of course, having said that, I had chrome rims on my car before I tinted it!

However, I already had the rims when I bought the car, so that's why. lol
