Car Wheel Upgrades

Upgrading your car’s wheels is one of the quickest and easiest upgrades that you can do, improving both the look and the performance of your car.

Des Golden Specialist Cars in Cork is the garage to go to if you’re thinking about upgrades or improvements to your wheels.

There are a few points to consider when upgrading wheels:

• Size is usually the first, with the diameter, width, and offset all having a bearing on the handling and appearance of your car
• The material makes a difference too – steel is durable and affordable; alloy is lighter and so tends to handle better; forged wheels are even lighter and are mostly used for racing and high-performance cars; and finally, carbon fibre – the most expensive option and usually the reserve of high-end vehicles.
• The design of the wheel has a massive impact on the aesthetic – whether you go for concave or convex and what style of spokes you choose.
• You can choose from a selection of different finishes, for example, painted, polished or powder-coated.
• You also need to consider how different wheels affect performance depending on factors such as their weight, lifespan and how heat disperses across the wheel.

There are other factors to think about to make sure you get the ideal wheel for your needs and that it’s totally compatible with your car. Our team here at Des Golden Specialist Cars have all the answers when it comes to wheel upgrades, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
