Many aspects make up the status of your wheels. This can include the amount of spokes, the size of the spokes, the finish of the face and the bolt patterns. Here are some aspects of wheels that will make your car the hottest ride on the street.

The first thing that gives character to the look of your car is the amount of spokes forged into the wheel. The more spokes there are the more dangerous the car looks on the street. Often it will people remind people of metal rods or bars on the cages.

The face of the wheel might also have a different shape. In position of where the many spokes are, there are pieces of metal formed into a specific shape. These shapes are often curved or have the same shape as a petal. It isn’t as girly as it sounds. It gives a bold appearance and looks awesome on any car.

Another interesting type of spokes design is one where they intersect each other. They give a full appearance and are twice as daring as other spokes designs. The intersecting forgery gives it more a complete and filled appearance.

The colour of the face of the wheel is important when trying to achieve status. Many cars come with the basic silver rim which isn’t bad looking but isn’t as impressive as a gloss silver or matte colours.

Black blends the car in with the night. It gives the car that “caped-person” appearance which only stalks in the night. If you want to impress a crowd without driving and spinning your tyres off, just cruise down the street with these installed.

The shinier the silver the better the car looks. Some people prefer their cars to have a glossy appearance. The glossy silver colour gives the car higher status and a more elegant look.

Sometimes wheels come in different colours. You can match the colour of the wheel with the colour of your car or you can purchase a set of gold faced wheels. Depending on what you are going for, this could give character to your car.

Bolt patterns don’t contribute much to the coolness of your car. Bolts are often hard to spot because they are generally the same colour as the face of the wheel. They can look appealing if that’s what you are initially looking out for and like the studs on a bangle, bolts can have the same feel.

You may be crazy about wheel designs and might be running to the best wheel supplier you can find. Wheels are important when installing new parts for your car but should also be considered for their quality.
