Alloy wheels
Alloy wheels are a great improvement over steel wheels.
By combining steel with aluminum or magnesium, alloy rimes have proven
to be lighter and improve a vehicle’s steering ability.
Some manufacturers that make alloy wheels include:
• Falcon
• Helo
• Alba
• Asanti
Apart from improving performance, alloy wheels are well known for their
style. Rims are popular with celebrities and rappers who want to turn
heads with their vehicles. These are also called “dubs”
(or simply, “D’s”) after their 20” diameter.
Numerous rap songs reference dubs as status symbols.
