Alloy Rims in a Nutshell
As you should know, Factory Alloy wheels are best for your car because they're lighter, better, et cetera, et cetera. But as with everything, there are advantages, disadvantages, and things that are just simply neutral.
As you probably know (or didn't know), Factory Original Aluminum Wheels need to be well taken care of because if not, some real bad stuff can happen. Oh yeah, it can be pretty damaging to your car. For one, if you don't clean your alloy wheels enough, they can eventually develop rust and can lead to your tires losing air, which means you'll get a flat, so hopefully that doesn't happen to you when you're driving on the freeway. Even if they don't give you that flat that you're desperately hoping you don't get, it's complicated and pretty expensive to repair your bent or damaged OEM Aluminum Wheel. It may be easier for you to just buy a used one that is refurbished and looks like new (OriginalWheels.com). I bet you know that since Factory Original Aluminum Rims are more expensive to make than Steel Wheels, they are considered to be an accessory, or an extra add-on if you don't have a luxury wheel. When it comes to the Jaguar XK8 Rims , they are actually included in the price when you purchase your car. If you notice on the typical Toyota models, they have a wheel cover that imitates Original Aluminum Wheels. Bummer, huh? If you do buy a new car with fancy Aluminum Wheels, you don't need to worry that they're going to steal them! The dealership should offer something called wheel locks that secure the lug nuts from being removed. Of course you get a key to this lock, but you'll be at a peaceful state of mind.
So with everything having a downside, there's always a positive part to look at. With the Alloy Wheels, your car performs to it's full potential and they disperse of heat so your tires don't "burn out" too quickly after purchasing the car. They come in many finishes like Chrome, Polished, Painted any color you want, or simply Machined / Brushed Aluminum. Bottom line, they make your car look nicer; hence, makes you more confident when you drive that phenomenal car.
All Factory Original Aluminum Wheels are not just made to fit the car, they are actually researched by each manufacturer to determine if they can make it bigger and better than the previous one. They try to make them as light and fuel efficient as they can be. Unlike OEM Steel Wheels, Original Alloy Rims are more uniform and tend to have a more consistent fit with your tire. As you see on the road, there is more than just one type of Aluminum Wheel; there's some for motorcycles, trucks, RV's, and more commonly: your average car. Not all Aluminum Wheels are the same. If you're a person who likes going to the mountains and being all adventurous while the rest of us are here being all serious, you might want to consider purchasing Alloy Rims since they boost airflow within the wheel. I personally have Alloy wheels and have not had any problems whatsoever. See, with wheel covers, if you keep running into pot holes, they're going to keep coming off. If you simply buy Factory Alloy Wheels, you shouldn't have that problem at all! How convenient, right?
As you can kind of tell, Alloy Rims are a big responsibility for your car; but if you're up for it, then go for it.
