ADVANTAGES OF USING ALLOY RIMS

• FUEL ECONOMY

Because Forged Alloy rims are lighter in weight, acceleration effort is reduced and braking effort is decreased, giving a corresponding saving in fuel.

• REDUCE TYRE WEAR AND INCREASE THEIR LONGEVITY

Alloy has better heat transference than steel therefore enabling quicker heat dissipation from brakes and tyres, increasing their longevity and reducing the possibility of tyre failure. Alloy rims are also truer than steel rims, giving smoother steering and less stress on tyres.

• HIGHER LOAD CAPACITY

Compared to steel rims, forged alloy rims have about 5 times the strength.

• REDUCE COST OF BRAKE MAINTENANCE

Forged Aluminium rims allow faster heat dissipation and will therefore protect the brake components from sustained high temperatures resulting in reduced maintenance costs of the braking system.

• EXTENDED ENGINE LIFE

Forged alloy rims are lighter than steel rims and can therefore reduce engine load, reducing wear, breakdown and engine maintenance costs.

• HIGHER IMPACT RESISTANCE

Under the same impact of external force, forged aluminium rims suffer far less damage than steel rims.
