WHEELS & TIRES FOR SALE IN CEDAR PARK, TX

Remember, your car’s wheels support your vehicle, reduce tire friction and offer stability. When using the best wheels and they are aligned and correctly configured, your car will also get better gas mileage. Any car owner should be cognizant of the various parts of the wheel. Afterall, your car is a big investment and it’s critical to your way of life. Therefore you should know the functionality of each part of your car wheel:

• Wheel Rim – The rim is the outer edge portion of the wheel and is responsible for holding the tire.
• Barrel – The rim’s barrel is the tire’s surface containing flanges that prevent the tire from slipping.
• Disc – This is the heavy center part of the wheel mounted on the hub that supports the tire rim on its outer edge.
• Drop Center – Several wheels have a section of the barrel that slopes towards the inside of the wheel. In order to mount a tire with equal diameter, a single side of the tire must be inserted into the drop center. This enables the tire enough mobility to ensure that the other side can grip the rim’s edge in a satisfactory manner.
• Flanges – Wheel edges intended to stop the tire from slipping. Flanges are located on both ends of the wheel and will keep it firmly in place, even in road conditions that are far from ideal.
• Beads – Beads are located within the flanges that help to form a seal between the tire and the wheel. They also transfer energy, and if not high-quality or in good condition, the energy won’t be evenly dispersed and as a result the car will drive awkwardly and shake, especially at higher speeds.
• Mounting Humps – Mounting humps are ridges that encompass both sides of the barrel. They seperate the bead’s surface helps to hold the tire to the wheel edge. Many mounting humps have a slanted edge to enable the beads to hit over the humps in the event they need to be removed. On the flip side, high performance cars have straight edges and don’t come off as easily. This design has purpose though because it ensures that the tire will stay tight against the wheel and not shoot off during high speeds.
• Hub – The hub is the central part of the wheel attached to the rim. The hub holds several parts that include the rotors, brake pads and the calipers (note these are not actually parts of the wheel). The hub also attaches to the car’s axle and cradles the mechanisms that enable the wheel to work.
• Center Bore – The empty portion on the back side of the wheel. It has functional space going over the axle that supports the vehicle’s weight.
• Plate – Metal piece located on the central bore containing bolt holes, and that makes contact with the lug bolts, rotors and axle seat. In some form, every component of the wheel is connected to the plate.
• Spokes – Thin pieces between the plate and the rim’s edge. Spokes support the outer edge and safeguard against damage from lighter impacts. There are hundreds of spoke designs, as they are also regarded as an aesthetic component to the wheel. The spoke strength is predicated on the materials and the design.
• Dish – Outer wheel portion that extends past the spokes. However, some are sunken in for aesthetic reasons.
• Bolt Circle – Region created by lug bolts. Its diameter is the length between the BCD. The number of lug bolts holes, coupled with the BCD, defines the bolt pattern, which varies between wheel and car manufacturers.
• Valve Stem – The protruding valve stem hole is accessed to check tire pressure, and to fill the tire with air. Rubber stems are the most common type, however, for cosmetic reasons there are some made from metal.
• Center Cap – This is located on the wheel’s center where the spokes meet. Usually, the center cap can be removed. But if they are made from steel, then the chance is great you can’t remove them. The function is to cover the center’s hole and protect the lug nuts.
• Lug Holes – The empty gaps covered by the center cap. Lug nuts hold the wheel together and dictate the bolt pattern. Some cars can have as few as four lug holes, while others can have as many as eight.
• Outboard Face – The visible side of the wheel, and the side that offers the cosmetic attributes of the wheel structure. It is critical that the outboard face can withstand any damage, as it is vulnerable to impact.
