Factory Tire’s wheel buying guide
At Factory Tire, we stock a wide selection of wheels for customers in Toronto, ON, Etobicoke, ON, Rexdale, ON, and surrounding areas.
Before you start shopping for a new set of wheels, use our guide below, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of different wheel materials to find the best wheel for your needs. If you have questions during your research, contact us.
Alloy wheels are light wheels with improved performance characteristics. These light wheels increase cornering and steering precision, and decrease road feedback for better braking response.
Steel wheels are heavier wheels that provide a lower center of gravity. Steel wheels suit harsh conditions in snow or off-road over rugged terrain, but the added weight can reduce some performance feel versus alloys.
Chrome is an aesthetically pleasing finish applied to both alloy and steel wheels. Chrome wheels are sought for cosmetic appeal — mirrored shine, durability, and strength — but need regular cleaning to maintain their look.
Cast wheels: aluminum wheels are made by pouring molten aluminum into a mold. Shape is formed through gravity or pressure casting.
Machined wheels: machining combines casting, heating, spinning, and precise pressurization to fill a mold with molten aluminum and shape the wheel.
Forged wheels: forging takes a solid piece of aluminum and forms the wheel with high heat and extreme pressure — light, dense, and strong.
The right set depends on vehicle characteristics and desired ride quality. Consider:
- Size: Different sizes and weights carry different performance traits. If you upgrade wheel size, respect the maximum size allowance for your vehicle.
- Weight: Heavier wheels can increase braking distance and reduce handling; lighter wheels often improve maneuverability and braking feel.
- Terrain: Choose wheels based on where you drive most often and their primary job.
Every customer’s criteria differ — talk to our staff. We stay current on wheel style, configuration, and performance.
