The right set of wheels depends on vehicle characteristics and desired ride quality. When choosing
wheels for your car, truck, or SUV, consider the following:
- Size: Various wheel sizes and weights hold different performance characteristics. If you
plan on upgrading your current wheel size, be sure to consider the maximum wheel size allowance
on your vehicle.
- Weight: Wheel weight impacts vehicle performance. Heavier wheels increase braking
distance and reduce handling, while lighter wheels will improve maneuverability and braking
performance.
- Terrain: Where do you drive most often? Wheels should be selected based on their primary
function.
