FAQ
How do I know what wheels fit my vehicle?
Check your vehicle’s bolt pattern, offset, and center bore. You can also use our fitment guide or ask your dealer for exact compatibility.
What’s a bolt pattern?
The bolt pattern (PCD) is the number of lug holes and the diameter of the circle they form. Example: 5×114.3 means 5 lugs on a 114.3mm circle.
Can I run bigger wheels than stock?
Yes, but you’ll need to make sure your tire size, suspension clearance, and offset are correct to avoid rubbing.
What do the numbers on wheels mean (e.g., 17x9 +12)?
“17” is diameter in inches, “9” is width, and “+12” is offset (how far the wheel sits in or out).
What’s the difference between offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the wheel’s centerline. Backspacing is the measurement from the mounting surface to the back edge of the wheel. Both affect fitment.
What’s the load rating?
The maximum weight a wheel can support. Always match or exceed your vehicle’s requirements.
Do different finishes require special care?
Yes. Gloss, satin, and machined finishes should be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, automatic car washes, and acidic cleaners.
Will bronze or black finishes fade?
With proper care, high-quality powder coat and paint finishes hold up for years. Sun, salt, and harsh cleaners can reduce lifespan.
Are aftermarket wheels safe?
Yes, when purchased from reputable brands. All our wheels are tested to JWL, VIA, or SAE standards.
What’s the difference between cast, flow-formed, and forged wheels?
Cast wheels are poured into a mold, flow-formed wheels are spun for added strength, and forged wheels are pressed from a solid block of aluminum — the strongest and lightest option.
Do I need hub rings?
If the wheel’s center bore is larger than your vehicle’s hub, hub rings ensure a proper fit and reduce vibration.
Can I reuse my stock lug nuts?
Not always. Aftermarket wheels often require tuner-style or conical-seat lug nuts. Check with your dealer.
Do I need TPMS sensors?
Yes, if your vehicle came with TPMS, you’ll need to transfer your existing sensors or purchase new ones.
Can I mount bigger tires with new wheels?
Yes, but only within safe clearance and suspension limits. Always consult a tire professional.
