Alloy wheels give you the opportunity to personalise your car, they also offer fast suspension performance, enhanced acceleration and improved handling. The alloy wheel market offers an overwhelming range of styles, making it a tough choice to decide which wheels to buy to enhance the look of your vehicle. Think about the following when in the market for a new set of alloy wheels:

• Set a budget – alloy wheels can be expensive, make sure you are realistic in what you can afford
• Ensure you consider the right style for you and your car:
  • Should you choose split rim or single piece alloy trims?
  • What size do they need to be?
  • What colour do you want them?
  • Consider the lines and curves
  • What finish do you want?
• Make sure you don’t select an alloy that’s too big as these can put extra strain on your brakes and change how your car handles
• And if you choose alloys that are too small you could position your car too low
• If you drive in rush hour a lot then choosing a light alloy trim could reduce the pressure you put on your brakes when start-stopping in heavy traffic
• If you are looking for better acceleration and handling choosing wider rimmed wheels could be what you are looking for
• Keep in mind that super stylish wheels with a glossy or mirrored finish can be high maintenance
• And consider that a matt finish is often popular as they can disguise scratches and blemishes
