Select the disks for a car

Beautiful machine is always pleasing to the eye and accessories, which include CDs here play an important role. Interest drives can decorate even the old, beat-up car, not to mention the fact that they will add new luster and elegance. Automotive drives, there are many. And besides the principle of aesthetics should be guided and other important rules of the disk selection. Let us discuss this in more detail.

Do not be guided by the price of CDs, because cheap is not always bad quality, but expensive - good. It is very important to pay attention to the many other things, if you're interested in not only design, but also reliability, practicality, durability, etc.

First of all, pay attention to country-drive manufacturer. Russian drives (Aviatehnologii, Vic, K & K) is in principle suitable for not very expensive cars and VAZ, as well as the demand for street racing on the part of the auto-tuning. Best Russian CDs from Krasnoyarsk. German drives (Borbet, Artec, AEZ, ATS, Rondell) promise to be strong, talk about life coverage and are more or less the elite. Turkish discs (Kormetal, DJ) are relatively inexpensive and a great variety of designs and models. Japan (Kosei) spoke about the high quality discs. These discs are usually well decorated, some weigh, but also value for money.

We now turn to the types of discs. CDs are divided into the cast, forged and welded.
Alloy wheels naturally, the most beautiful, but behind this lies their impracticality. These discs are often susceptible to breaking even on the weak beats. Forged wheels are well suited to fast driving, so it is usually chosen by the riders. They are relatively easy to climb, so the car accelerates rapidly. Weld wheels are strong enough, and inexpensive. But Russian welded discs may disappoint their views: they are easily subject to corrosion, they are often flies off the paint. Best forged and welded wheels from Germany.

Before you pick a good look around their wheels. Visually, the surface should be smooth, without any changes and damage. On the back side as well not be detected chips, dents, etc. as they will cause corrosion of emergency. Note the distance between the edge of the disk and fixing the terms (so-called stem). Usually, the smaller this distance, the greater the wheel out of line wing.

Decide on the number of mounting holes, usually five of them. Yet their number should depend on the weight and power of the car. Look at the diameter of the circle to where the hole. If there is even the slightest deviation from the diameter, then it's a bad sign.

For the winter period is usually chosen forged wheels, as they are durable. But for the summer is well suited alloy wheels, both look quite aesthetically pleasing. For a very fast ride (250-280 kph), without a doubt fit discs, in which at least seven spokes. There will also be very useful to remember one rule: the width of the rim disc should be less than the width of the tire to 25-30%.

The thickness of the disks is of great importance. If you choose very narrow or, conversely, wide wheels, the tire profile is violated. And from this will suffer and maneuverability of the car: slip resistance worsens, the response to the rotation and much more.

If we talk about color disc now for painting most of the steel discs used by so-called powder technology. The gist is that the disc is covered with durable paint that is made based on polymers. Due to this disc is resistant to salt, various influences, but also has an attractive appearance. Discs coated with enamel, sooner or later begin to look bad, as the enamel breaks down quickly - these discs more durable and less prone to corrosion.

Depending on what drive you put in your car, it can become a sports or, alternatively, the executive class. This is the magic power of motor drives.
