We understand: the tire buying process can be a little intimidating, but that's why we're here. We've mapped out the steps below to help guide you through the wheel buying process, ensuring sales, appearance and performance satisfaction.

Alloy Wheels

• Alloy Wheels, sometimes referred to as "mag wheels", are made from a mixture of metals, like aluminum or magnesium. Alloy wheels may be best for you if you do a lot of driving in the mountains, or in stop-and-go traffic. Alloy wheels can help to promote cool air flow over your brakes, which helps them to avoid overheating. In addition to heat dissipation, alloy wheel are much lighter than standard wheels–giving you a greater performance and handling experience.

Plus-Size Your Rims

• Thinking about upgrading your vehicle's style and performance? Think about plus-sizing your rims with Big O Tires. With a larger inner diamater, you'll find steering is more responsive, and that your vehicle will ultimately hold the roads better. Don't forget, upgrading your rim size means new tires, too! Don't worry, we've got a great selection of new tires for you to choose from.

Keep The Weight Down

• Look for rims that aren't too heavy for your vehicle. Big, steel rims on a small car will decrease your vehicle's handling ability. Heavy wheels are unsprung weight--this means weight that is not supported by your vehicle's suspension--and therefore useless for smoothing out the ride or improving balance in driving maneuvers.

• Visible damage: Cracks, bends, and other visible signs of structural damage are strong indicators that it's time to change your wheels. Even if you can still drive on them, any kind of damage that is significant enough to see will be significant enough to cause potential driving issues.
• Vibration or wobbling:If you feel a vibration or wobbling while driving, it could be a sign that your wheels are not balanced correctly. You can ask one of our technicians if a simple balancing will correct the issue, but if it's too extreme, it might be time to swap them out for a new set.
