Several factors go into choosing the perfect car. One of these is whether you’ll have front-wheel or rear-wheel drive. The difference between the two has a substantial impact on how your car will handle. To help you with your selection process, we’ve created a brief overview of how these two options differ.

One thing we’ve yet to discuss, however—and what we’ll delve into today—is the inflation of your tires. Many of us understand the importance of preventing underinflation, though we may not necessarily know the exact reasons why. Another thing we may not realize is that you can also overinflate your tires. Maintaining proper tire pressure is integral to optimizing your car’s performance and preventing future unwanted repair costs.

Anyone who drives a car knows how impactful the wheels are. However, this doesn’t mean that everyone knows the details behind wheels. Even changing tires is foreign to a large percent of the U.S. population—nearly 20% of us don’t know how to perform the task.

Doing what you can to keep your car running well is helpful, but the outside world has a mind of its own—and your wheels are likely to take the brunt of any damage caused by the elements. The United States sees approximately 220 million flat tires a year—a staggering amount, to say the least. Even the 2015 Honda Accord’s wheels, which are known for their reliability, aren’t immune to a stray nail or patch of black ice.

Some of the most prominent dangers, as we all know, are potholes. You should avoid them whenever you can, but sometimes you don’t see them right away, and swerving to avoid them can be unsafe. Depending on the angle and speed at which you hit the pothole, your tire may incur substantial damage. A particularly

Car wheels, also known as rims, are made from different materials. The quality of the material determines the cost of the rim and each material has varying effects on the weight, durability, strength, and finish of the wheel.

So you have found yourself in the market for a new wheel(s) for your vehicle but the terminology on this and other sites is unfamiliar. When it comes to the difference between lugs and center bore you are unsure what those terms mean and if they are important. Don’t worry, we will explain the basics of what you need to know to make certain you select the right wheel for your vehicle. 

One of the most frequently asked questions by our customers is “does your remanufactured wheels LOOK brand new?” It is a definitely priority to have all of our wheels look visually appealing to our customers, but in our opinion the more important question is “are your remanufactured wheels as structurally sound as a brand new wheel?”
