Wheel Modification

Wheel modification refers to the modification of the original wheels of a vehicle by the owner or professional car modification personnel for aesthetic or other purposes. As an important component of a car, the wheel and tire are a popular modification category for many car enthusiasts, and wheel modification has increasingly become the focus of car modification.

Overview

Wheel modification is a relatively prominent modification, and it can be directly judged from a visual perspective whether a car has undergone wheel modification. Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that upgrading the wheel is not just for aesthetics and attention. In fact, in addition to aesthetics, wheel modification can also achieve the purpose of improving heat dissipation and lightening the weight. Whether a set of wheels looks beautiful is a matter of personal opinion. However, the impact of a set of wheels on driving safety is what needs to be paid attention to in wheel modification. Before discussing how to identify the quality of the wheel , first understand the various parameters of the wheel and know what kind of parameter wheel you need.

Basic parameters of wheel

Center bore (CB)

Each wheel has a center bore, but the diameters of the center bores of different wheels vary. The diameter of the center bore is used to indicate the size of the center bore of the wheel . If the center bore diameter of the modified wheel is different from the original factory value of the vehicle, it can be installed using an adapter. However, due to the additional adapter, the ability to cope with bumpy road conditions and other driving situations may be correspondingly reduced in actual driving.

PCD

This is an important parameter when choosing a wheel , also known as pitch circle diameter. The PCD parameter is used to indicate how many mounting holes the wheel has and what is the diameter of the mounting holes. For example, if the PCD value of a wheel is 5x120mm, it means that the set of wheels has 5 positioning bolts and the mounting diameter is 120mm.

Offset (OFF SET/ET)

Offset, also known as ET value, can be positive or negative. The ET value of a conventional factory model is generally a positive value, which means that the fixed surface of the wheel is located inside the center surface. Conversely, the ET value is a negative value, and wheels with negative ET values are called negative value wheels.
