Why do more and more people like to modify car wheels?

A. Fashionable appearance

Many car owners like to make the wheels bigger, the wheels are bigger, the tires naturally have to be wider and thinner.

A sports car is a combination of big wheels and flat tires, so people will think you are a performance car at first glance, driving very windy.

B. Improve performance

As the tire becomes wider, the area that touches the ground will be larger, the grip will be stronger, and the braking effect will be better.

When the tire is turning, one side is forced, and the deviation of the center of gravity will make the tire squeeze and deform, causing the vehicle to roll. The thinner the tire, the smaller the degree of deformation, so the support is better.

C. Save fuel consumption

The modified wheels are lighter than the original wheels. For example, a 10 kg sandbag may not feel heavy on the back, but the difference will be obvious if it is tied to the legs.

This concept is the quality of the unsprung. There are many parts that affect the quality of the unsprung, such as tie rods, control arms, brakes, etc. Wheels and tires are an important one.

There is a saying that for every kilogram lighter under the unsprung, it is equivalent to a vehicle lightening of ten kilograms. If the four wheels can reduce a total of 10 pounds, it is equivalent to the weight of a beautiful woman sitting on the car.

Therefore, the vehicle will be lighter when running, and fuel consumption will be reduced accordingly.
