When it comes to aluminum alloy wheels, we will be familiar with them. When buying a car, it will be weighed and compared by consumers as an important reference indicator of appearance and configuration. The most common contact is the appearance style and size of the wheel. As we all know, if the tire width is increased, the vehicle will have better braking and handling performance. Therefore, some consumers will also consider replacing the original tire with a wider tire when it reaches its service life. At this time, we need to know the width and size of the wheel and the tires it can match.

Advantages of aluminum alloy wheels

The wheel is composed of a wheel and tire, supporting the weight of the whole vehicle. The size and width of the aluminum alloy wheel directly affect the tire size, and the tire size has an important impact on the vehicle's performance. Aluminum alloy wheels have many advantages over steel wheels.

1. Good heat dissipation: the heat transfer coefficient of aluminum alloy is three times larger than that of steel. The friction between the tire and the ground as well as between the brake disc and the brake pad will generate high heat during the driving process of the car, which will lead to the aging and accelerated wear of the tire and brake pad. The brake performance will decline sharply due to high temperature, and the pressure in the tire will also increase, which may lead to a potential tire blowout. Compared with steel wheels, aluminum alloy wheels can transmit this heat to the air faster, increasing the safety factor.

2. Lightweight: the proportion of aluminum alloy wheels is smaller than that of the steel wheels, and each wheel is about 2 kg lighter than that of steel wheels of the same size on average. The total weight can be reduced by 8 kg without a spare whereas the lighter wheel can also reduce the resistance when starting and accelerating, which together make the vehicle more fuel efficient.

3. High precision: the precision of aluminum alloy wheel casting is much higher than that of steel wheel casting, and the out-of-roundness and unbalanced weight is small. In addition, the elastic modulus of aluminum alloy is small, and its anti-vibration performance is better than that of a steel wheel. These two items can effectively reduce vehicle vibration and make driving more comfortable.

4. More beautiful: The fluidity and tension of aluminum alloy are better than that of steel wheels in the state of high-temperature liquid, and the later polishing and electroplating process enables it to produce a more beautiful and changeable appearance. The surface anti-corrosion treatment and electrostatic powder coating also make it as new as ever.
