These are basically the metal frames that your tires mount onto. They don’t do a whole lot mechanically beyond providing a strong, secure base for the tire, but how they’re made affects a lot of other things. They come in different sizes, widths, and designs. They affect things like handling, braking, and even fuel economy—though that last one is pretty subtle. They’re a structural part of the wheel assembly, obviously. They take a beating from potholes, curbs, and just normal road stuff. They connect to the vehicle’s suspension, so they play a role in how the car rides and handles. They’re also one of the biggest visual parts of the car, so they contribute a lot to its style. Think of them as the skeleton holding everything together, but one that everyone sees. Well, first, a damaged wheel isn’t safe. A bent or cracked wheel can cause vibrations, affect steering, and even lead to a tire losing air, which is obviously bad. Alloy wheels, compared to steel ones, are generally lighter. That lighter weight can improve acceleration and handling. They also don’t rust like steel wheels do, so they hold up better over time and look nicer. You’ll notice if you’ve got a bad wheel—the car will pull to one side, vibrate at certain speeds, or you might feel it in the steering wheel.
