Truck wheels FAQs
Q: What’s an alloy?
A: An alloy is a mixture of metals. Standard wheels are made from steel,
but alloy wheels are made from a mixture of aluminum and magnesium.
Alloy wheels are lighter than normal tires, but they are also more expensive.
Q: What’s chrome plating?
A: Chrome is a very shiny metal that, when applied to rims, draws major
attention. However, chrome requires a lot of attention to keep it well-maintained.
Q: How can I care for my wheels?
A: Most wheels don’t need too much attention (except for racing
wheels) but it’s always good to check the air pressure on any
tire. An over or under-inflated tire is more susceptible to damage.
