The wheels, or rims, of a car are attached to their hubs by nuts and bolts that may be concealed by a hub cap. While the standard rims found on most automobiles are basic steel wheels, many car enthusiasts choose to purchase upgraded alloy rims from the manufacturer or from aftermarket suppliers. The right combination of car rims and quality tires can really enhance an automobile's appearance.

Chrome rims have always been popular because of their shiny exterior, but other alloy rims have recently come onto the market. Today's rims are often made of aluminum or magnesium alloys, and are available in a wide range of styles and sizes for most automobiles. Magnesium rims have typically been x-rayed and heat tempered to ensure their good looks and durability. Not only do alloy wheels have extra strength and durability, they are also lighter than steel rims. Their lighter weight may offer improved performance and a more attractive appearance than traditional steel wheels.

Just like any other industry, car rim trends come and go. One of today's hottest trends is car rims with spinners. A "spinning rim" creates the optical illusion that the wheel is still moving, even when the car has stopped. Designed to attract attention and make a statement, spinners can be seen on all types of vehicles, from SUVs to sports cars.

On CarRims.us, you will find a good selection of custom wheels and rims from selected wheel manufacturers and auto parts suppliers. Be sure to purchase wheels that are designed for your automobile make, model, and year. Alloy wheels are more likely to be stolen, so remember to purchase and install locking wheel nuts to help prevent theft, and be sure you have the unlocking tool handy for emergency use. If you are not sure what to buy, discuss your rim options with the customer service staff before making your purchase. They usually know about their product specifications and should be able to help you select the right rims for your car.
