OEM Automotive Wheels

Get the Facts About Wheels

What they do: spin your vehicle's tires. They do it by rotating on axles. This builds the necessary mechanical leverage and multiplies the requisite force.

What they're made of: most of the time, a metal like steel, an alloy such as aluminum, or a high-strength polymer like carbon fiber (also called graphite fiber).

The sizes available: many. They're measured in diameters. Some are as small as 14 inches (in the case of a lot of compact cars) and others are as large as 20 inches or more (in the case of some trucks and SUVs).

The styles available: that depends on several determinants -- among them, single-, twin-, or multi-spoke status, how many spokes the wheels have, and the climate and/or type of weather they're made for.

The colors available: too many to be named. Manufacturers and aftermarket brands do design their wheels matched to specific models, though.

Why buy genuine OEM wheels: they'll be the right type and size for your brand and model. Relatedly, putting the right wheels on helps ensure correct alignment, acceleration, braking, overall handling, and speedometer calibration.
