Americans have a love affair with their cars.  We remember our first car and the freedom it allowed us.  The cars that disappointed us sometimes left us feeling personally betrayed.  Even though it was difficult for some cars, we always wanted them to look pretty – or cool – or tough.  Some psychologists say that when we have the opportunity to own our “perfect” vehicle, it is a reflection of who we are.  Yes – we love our cars.  While there are many upgrades we look at for our cars, one question often arises:  “Should I get larger wheels?”

Larger Wheels

We’ve all seen them – the cars with the big wheels – they look sporty.  We see those cars and we look at our own with the regular factory wheels on it and we wonder if we should get larger wheels.  In case you get confused about the lingo (as some do), wheels are the “rims” as some call them – they are the things that bolt onto your car that hold your tires.  There are many things to consider when contemplating larger wheels.  Any change to the manufacturer’s design of the vehicle will affect your vehicles performance and could cause unsafe performance.  Some manufacturers have already tested and approved multiple wheel diameters, so it is best to ask your tire expert (that’s us) before you make the move to larger wheels.
