Until We See All the Trucks on the Road with Spiffy Looking Fuel Rims, We Will Continue to Cover This Subject

It is time again to talk about the benefits of alloy wheels over those stock steel wheels. We have touched upon this subject in the past, but until we see all the trucks on the road with spiffy looking Fuel rims, we will continue to cover this subject.

Sure, alloy wheels will cost you more than a set of steel wheels, but the benefits outweigh the cost. Alloy wheels got their start on the racing circuit, but more and more you see truck owners using them on their rides. And for good reasons.

It is no secret that a set of Fuel wheels will look better than the stock steel wheels on most trucks. In fact, many people purchase alloy truck wheels for aesthetic purposes only. Alloy wheels are sold in all the sizes any truck owner could ever imagine and the selection of alloy wheels is large and very impressive. Heck, Fuel Wheels alone has well over three dozen types from which to choose. Additionally, alloy wheels come in a variety of finishes, from chrome to painted to polished aluminum.

As a matter of fact, aluminum is one of the key components of many alloy wheels, which is what makes them so lightweight. In terms of wheels and weight, unsprung weight makes wheels vulnerable to shock transmission. Alloy wheels decrease unsprung weight, increasing your truck’s handling. The lighter wheels on your truck also give a boost to acceleration.

Even though those alloy wheels weigh less than their steel counterparts they are still stronger. Alloy wheels also disperse heat better, which decreases cracking and bending. Better heat dispersion also translates into more efficient braking.
