In this article I am going to discuss the technicalities of modifying your car with an alloy wheels.But before performing some wheels modification you shoud be well aware of your car's nature.Different cars have different nuts or bolts on their wheel hubs and it heavily depends on the internal space of the car wheels.So you should be well aware of the P.C.D of your car wheels.P.C.D stands for pitch center diameter or to be more simple its a diameter of the circle of the wheel drawn from the wheel's bolt holes.It is usually measured in millimeters and along with that it also indicates that how many studs the wheel could have.For P.C.D of 4x100 would mean a wheel of 100mm circle having 4 bolts at its center.So before messing with your car wheels you should be aware of some basic jargons like these.

Now coming to the modification of alloy wheels.Many people would go for the complicated designs and that's natural because the complicated ones have the potential the to divert others attention towards itself.However a major issue of its cleaning arises.Obviously you would find a complicated designs more difficult to clean and if the dust keeps on accumulating,the shine tends to fade away also snatching its attractiveness.Spinners also introduces a degree of complexity nevertheless they are turning out to be integral component in modifying car wheels.So optimization is something which you should be looking for all the way.

When fitting alloying wheels be aware of your car's general colour theme and also about the type of alloy wheels which are going to be installed on your car.Chrome alloy wheels are most effective on dark colors because of their

shiny finishing.However now a days most wheels can be painted so opening a list of never ending options.After you install the wheels make sure to fit balancing weights to be fitted inside.Most alloy wheels allow the view of brake disc and calipers so see to it that they are well painted and in a good condition so that they don't bring you embarrasement.Painting the brake disc is also very popular now a days.Its up to you that what kind of paint you prefer for your brake discs.However if you ask from me i would choose a color which compliments the overall color scheme of my car's body kit rather than going for contrast because I feel that its way too loud.However the choice is yours its only my personal opinion.

In the end,be conscious of the size of wheels you are adding to your car.Amendments in the wheel size means that your car needs to be re-aligned again.Any negligience to this department may lead in the loss of car handling and obviously some serious damage.So be careful!!!
