There are millions of wheel designs, sizes, styles, finishes and brands and quite often people regret choosing the right wheel for their car when they get paid and it’s too late!

Choosing a new set of wheels for your car can be a fun exercise and will definitely add a new look and feel to your baby… your car!

When choosing the right wheels for your car, you must first consider; How much do you have to spend and how much can you pay for new tires in the future? Yes, buying the tires is a one-time cost, but you can spend anywhere from $60 per tire to around $1,250, depending on the size and brand of your wheels.

Let us give you a rough idea of ​​what to consider when selecting your next set of wheels!

Wheel style:

Believe it or not, there IS a style of wheel that fits every car in the world! The style is usually determined by the number of spokes the wheel has and the sharpness/smoothness of the design.

The most common spoke numbers range from 4 spokes to 10 spokes. More elaborate designs range from a solid plate to the old 100 spoke pimp style.

The most common is the traditional 5 spoke, but even that can vary to 5 split spokes and 5 pattern spokes.

You will need to find out what type of design you are looking for and if it will suit your trip.

Want an overly elaborate pattern design with loose shapes and pieces everywhere to match a shiny, exaggerated car? Perhaps a smooth, standard-looking wheel to match a conservatively styled car with smooth lines? How about a sharp, modern design for a sleek sports car or a lightweight racing design for a car that means business on the track?

Wheel Finish:

The finish of the wheel is really what defines it, which is why it is one of the most important factors in choosing the right wheel for your car!

Putting a chrome wheel on the wrong car completely cheapens the look. Chrome is usually reserved for ‘over the top’ Auto Salon style cars, but it can also add some shine to a sporty SUV or truck.

Shaded chrome and polished alloy is a more suitable choice for a sleek modern look and can usually be found on most wheel designs.

Black on black? Hell yeah!

Black wheels with a chrome or polished rim can make a neat black look crazy! It can be a classy move and still add the whole bling look to your ride!

‘Factory style’ alloys are more frowned upon than the more common finishes, but if you’re looking for that clean factory feel, this would be your best bet!

Gold wheels are commonly found on WRXs and Hondas. However, I have yet to see a pleasing sound mix in any other modern car. This is where the basic color rules come into play; where just a complementary color and a contrasting color are usually the best way to go. Not two contrast colors. (that’s the gold and color of your car…unless your car is white or thick)
