How to choose alloy wheels used

Many want to see on their car cast alloy wheels, given all their advantages. But often all their advantages are leveled by one minus - their high cost. In this case, many choose a compromise - we are looking for used alloy wheels.

Among the advantages of alloy disks are clearly allocated:

Little weight, thereby reducing the depreciation of spare parts of the car's chassis, as well as the dynamics during acceleration and braking.
A more aesthetic appearance compared to less attractive steel stamped discs.
No need for mandatory anti-corrosion treatment, because Alloys from which discs are manufactured are not subject to corrosion.

When buying discscheck their specifications: diameter, distance between mounting holes and their number, disk departure (ET). Compare this data with the requirements for the disks of your car, because initially even completely identical disks in appearance are manufactured in various versions and have different characteristics.

Discs should be smooth, without cracks, chips, traces of soldering, welding, not factory casting and other attributes of disc repair. In principle, some nuances are possible, and even professional repair of discs is not critical for further use, plus it should be very strongly affected by the price in the direction of its decline. But if the fact of repair finds out at the inspection stage - it is better not to buy these discs, as you are initially cheating, trying to hide the nuances.

From the disks, it is necessary to remove the rubber and inspect them from the inside, since possible traces of repair will be visible only from there.

Pay attention to the color: factory or not. Sometimes discs are repainted due to the wear of the old coating, but often the traces of repair are trying to hide the staining. In any case, repainted discs - a signal for a more careful inspection.

Be sure to visit the nearest maintenance station and check the disks on balancing. It seems that ideal discs can have a sufficiently strong imbalance, which often can lead to the impossibility of balance the wheel.

Currently, some firms offer not only new disks, but also wheels who are in use. Consultants carry out the selection of technical specifications requested by the buyer, offering goods with excellent quality indicators. Using the services of such firms, it is possible to significantly save time and money, because Wanting to save the company's face, employees provide comprehensive information about the state of the disks.
