Alloy wheel


Characteristics
Alcoa is a heavy aluminum wheels for trucks and buses.
Alloy wheels differ from the steel wheels in several ways:
Usually less weight for the same power
Better conductors of heat
Improved aesthetics
Lighter wheels can improve handling by reducing unsprung weight, allowing the suspension follows the terrain in detail and thus provide a better grip, but it is not always true that the alloy wheels are lighter than comparably sized wheels of steel. The reduction in total vehicle weight can also help to reduce fuel consumption.
Better conduction of heat can help dissipate heat from the brakes, which improves braking in demanding driving conditions and reduces the possibility of brake failure due to overheating.
Aluminum alloy wheels
Alloy wheels are not just to improve driving performance, they are also used for cosmetic svrhe.Legure largely resistant to corrosion, which provides an attractive bare metal finish without the need for paint or wheel covers, and manufacturing processes allow for intricate, bold designs. In contrast, steel wheels are usually pressed from sheet metal and then welded together (often leaving unsightly bumps) and must not be afraid (as they bite the other way) and / or hide the wheel covers / hub caps.
Alloy wheels are prone to galvanic corrosion if appropriate preventive measures are not taken, which can cause tires to leak air. Also, the alloy wheels are harder to repair than the steel wheels when bent, but their higher price is usually cheaper than repairing it replace, or even severely damaged wheels can often be repaired to like new, although it depends on how hard the owner wants save the wheels and inner value and availability.
Alloy wheels are more expensive to produce than standard steel wheels, and thus are often not included in the standard, rather than being sold as optional extras or as part of a more expensive trim package. However, the alloy wheels have become much more common since 2000, is now being offered on the economy and subcompact cars, compared to a decade earlier, where the alloy wheels are often not able to plant the cost of the vehicle. Alloy wheels have long been included as standard equipment on higher prices of luxury sports car or, with larger-sized or "exclusive" alloy wheels as opcije.Visoke cost alloy wheels makes them attractive to thieves, to counter this, automakers and dealers often use locking wheel nuts which require a special key for removal.
