If you’re looking for a new car or 4WD, you have probably noticed that there are hundreds of styles of 20 inch rims for sale. Contrary to what you may have heard, size does matter, especially where vehicle wheels are concerned. In this article, you will learn why you should pay attention to rim size when making your selection.
Size and Comfort
Ride comfort and the size of your cheap rims are closely related but many shoppers don’t realize it – and they choose the biggest wheels they can find. Large wheels can look great, but they typically offer a less comfortable ride.
Larger rims come with thinner tires, which aren’t as able to absorb impacts caused by road debris or potholes. Many automakers offer large rims on performance cars with sport suspension packages, which can further diminish ride quality.
Your Vehicle’s Resale Value
Bigger chrome rims can offer a less comfy ride, but they can add a significant amount to your car’s resale value. Many buyers love the look of larger wheels, and they’re willing to pay a premium to get that look. That’s equally true with new cars, and automakers can charge thousands for upgraded wheels – which means they can command a higher price when it’s time to sell.
Wheel type is important when it comes to resale value as well. Some new cars come with a choice of steel rims with hubcaps or alloys; the biggest differences are weight and appearance. Many buyers prefer the look of alloy wheels over steel, and choose them for their good looks and higher resale value.
Styling
Choosing a set of rims is partly about appearance and style. For some buyers, looks aren’t a very important consideration, and for others design and size are less important than overall appearance. For those who want more style, big rims are a must-have. Yes, you’ll sacrifice ride quality, but many shoppers are willing to make that trade-off.
Choosing new rim and tyre packages may seem simple, but it’s more complicated than you may think. If styling and resale value are your main concerns, larger rims are a fine choice. However, if the set you choose is too big, you’ll suffer in terms of ride quality and comfort.
