Choosing A Style Of Alloy Wheel
When someone decides to purchase a set of alloy wheels for their vehicle it is generally for two particular reasons. First of all, because alloy wheels are lighter than the traditional steel wheel, they reduce the 'unsprung weight' of the wheel. This is the weight of the wheel, tyre, brake (if mounted within the tyre), spindles, bearings and a portion of the half shafts, springs and suspension links. By reducing this...

So what is PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter)? Consider the wheel on... (posted by Adrian 4 years 3 days ago.)

What you may not realize, is that there are a number of technical reasons why you might want to fit alloy wheels to your vehicle.
