In the previous hodgepodge of modification knowledge, we have talked about the shock absorber of modified cars. Let's take a look at the part of the wheel that is also very important in the modification process.Wheel iscar"Shoes", under the premise of the same wheel diameter, increaseWheel hubDiameter, with flattire, Will make your car's visual effects dazzling. Nowadays, after buying a car, many car enthusiasts can't wait to modify the original wheel hubs with alloy wheels immediately. Mainly for aesthetics, plus the depreciation price of new tires will be higher.

The wheels are divided intotireDon’t underestimate these two things with wheels (steel rims), they are directly related to our vehicle safety and life safety, so we also need to have a correct modification and upgrade to the wheels. However, many car owners pay little attention to and do not understand the modification of tires and wheels. They always feel that the replacement will change the performance parameters of the vehicle and cause damage to the vehicle. Have you ever wondered why high-end models use large wheels for the same models, while low-end models have smaller wheels?

Before modification, we must first know the size of the tire, which is usually marked on the tire.for exampleMazda3 The tire size is 20555R16. The first number 205 represents the width of the tire, and the second number 55 represents that the height of the tire section is 55% of the tire width. R16 indicates that the diameter of the rim is 16 inches, and the size of the rim is 16X6.5 5*108 After knowing these dimensions, calculate and select the appropriate rim with tires to improve the handling and stability of the wheels.

In the pursuit of appearance and do not want to lose power, lightweight wheels can be used, which can effectively increase the steering speed, suspension, and braking response speed, and improve vehicle handling. Due to the choice of materials and the complicated manufacturing process, the cost of lightweight wheels is relatively higher than that of ordinary wheels. While pursuing lightweight, it will reduce the extra space on the wheel hub. The design is also very simple, and there are not so many patterns in the appearance of the general wheel hub. As the saying goes, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws."

As one of the very important parts of a car, the wheel directly affects the controllability, comfort and safety of the vehicle. Wheels are also vulnerable and consumable parts of vehicles, and replacement or upgrade of wheels is also inevitable. Most of the original tires are equipped with small aluminum alloy wheels or steel wheels due to cost control considerations. As for tires, considering the best performance of the vehicle, it is difficult to balance comfort and abrasion resistance, so moderate wheels are selected.

After we upgrade and modify the wheels, it will bring us different effects. Whether it is a friend who likes to improve power, a friend who wants to improve the control, or a friend who wants to improve the comfort of the vehicle, you can upgrade the wheels.

If you want to improve the power, you can choose lightweight wheels to reduce the load on the wheels. I also mentioned that it can effectively increase the steering speed, suspension, and braking response speed. Lifting control can increase the wheel rim and choose wide tires to improve the grip of the vehicle and prevent the tires from slipping or losing control. Some car owners are not interested in modification but feel that the original tires are comfortable or too noisy, and they can be improved by upgrading the tires. For example, silent tires can be used to improve these problems. The reason is that there is silica in the tire formula. When the tire is in contact with the ground, the friction generated is small and the sound is relatively low.

In addition to replacing the tires when the tires are damaged, ordinary car owners will upgrade and modify the wheels to meet their own needs. In order to pursue changes in appearance, flat tires are used to increase the appearance of the vehicle, and the stability of the vehicle will also increase. Therefore, the upgrade of wheels and tires is the first step to improve vehicle performance and aesthetics.
