What benefit is there to replacing steel wheels with Alloys?
Civic Coupe

I have an old Renault Megane with 13inch steel wheels. 15 inch alloys with 50% profile tyres should be a straight swap, but is there any advantage apart from styling?


Alloy wheels are stronger then steel wheels, they also dissipate heat better and do not rust. Going to a lower profile tire like a "50 series" will give you more road contact. This in turn will improve your dry-weather handling and braking. Be careful not to go too wide on the tires. A general rule for going up two sizes in rim width like you are doing is known as the Plus 2 option which means: add 20mm to existing tire width, subtract -20mm from your current sidewall and add 2 inches to your rim size. Also check with your rim manufacturer to make sure that the rim will work on your vehicle including whether or not any hub centric rings will be needed to compensate for different rim offsets (the centering of the bolt holes usually front drive cars have a positive offset meaning the bolt holes are closer to the front of the rim, and rear drives or 4 wheel drives usually have a negative offset or bolt holes closer to the rear of the rim "the side closer to the wheel well").

  • BBC - Watchdog: Alternative uses for cracked BMW alloys: update

    Watchdog has received a number of complaints from BMW owners who've suffered cracked alloy wheels.

    BMW has blamed the drivers, saying they must have hit potholes or speed humps but the drivers say the damage isn't their fault and these expensive wheels should be replaced free-of-charge under warranty.

    The damage mostly affects 19" rear alloy wheels, used in conjunction with runflat tyres. An expert engineer who examined the wheels, said there was no visual evidence of any road impacts. He told Watchdog that the wheels should be recalled by BMW on safety grounds.

    Watchdog asked disgruntled drivers to send in their cracked alloys. Meanwhile, we turned some of them into instruments and created a musical message to take to BMW's UK headquarters in Bracknell.
