			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wheels are an important part of your vehicle. Imagine what would be your fate if there are inappropriate wheels fitted in your car. This does not refer to the physical appearance but refers to the performance that they should be providing. A wheel that does not match the requirements of a vehicle would mean disaster. So deciding on a suitable car wheel is a must.</p>
<p>The new Nissan Z (sports) consists of wheels that are suitable for all seasons. This means that your cars basic needs of safety are matched by the wheels. Also a sports car requires tires that can match performance with other parts of the vehicle. This car consists of tires that are best suitable.

The credit of all this should go to tire manufacturers who have come up with the best possible wheels for the car. The alloys that are used are also race-inspired. The overall performance and the physical appearance of the car are amazing.</p>
<p>In the market you get wheels in different quality, prices, etc. This means that you can change your car wheels as you please but there are certain facts that you should remember while buying one.</p>
<p>· Make sure that the car wheels that you are buying are compatible for your car.</p>
<p>· If at all you are looking to fit a wheel that is customized make sure that it suits your cars basic necessities.</p>
<p>· Look into the durability that the tire will provide (warranty of the tire).</p>
<p>· Also see if the wheels are adaptable to changing conditions.</p>
<p>· And look into the amount that you are going to spend on the wheels.</p>
<p>If you have looked into the basic requirements of your car wheels then your vehicle is safe to be in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people buy new cars, the first thing they change is their wheels</p>
<pre>and tires. It is the most economical way to make a big statement and to</pre>
<pre>make your car stand out from the crowd. There are a few things you have</pre>
<pre>to take into account, though, before you buy a wheel and tire</pre>
<pre>combination. If you don't do your research, you could waste a lot of</pre>
<pre>money on wheels and tires that don't fit your car.</pre>
<pre>Here are 5 things to look for when purchasing a set of wheels and tires.</pre>
<pre>1. Bolt Pattern</pre>
<pre>This is pretty basic. You have to buy a wheel that has the same bolt</pre>
<pre>pattern as your cars hub. You can change the bolt pattern by swapping</pre>
<pre>out hubs, but there is really no point to do this. The most popular</pre>
<pre>patterns are 4 lug and 5 lug.</pre>
<pre>2. Bore Size</pre>
<pre>The bore size is the size of the whole in the middle of your rim. You</pre>
<pre>should purchase a wheel that has a bore size as close as you can to the</pre>
<pre>factory size. This is necessary if you want your wheels to be hub</pre>
<pre>centric, and believe me, you do.</pre>
<pre>3. Hub Ring</pre>
<pre>If your bore size is just a bit larger than the hub on your car, you can</pre>
<pre>install a hub ring. A hub ring is basically a spacer or a shim that lets</pre>
<pre>the wheel sit flush with the hub and maintain a hub centric orientation.</pre>
<pre>4. Tire Type</pre>
<pre>There are a few different types of tires you can choose for your car. I</pre>
<pre>am going to go over summer, all season, high performance and drag radial</pre>
<pre>type tires.</pre>
<pre>Summer tires are what you see on most cars. These are just for general</pre>
<pre>driving, offer good grip, great wear, and all around reliability.</pre>
<pre>All season tires are more popular in places that have hot summers and</pre>
<pre>cold winters. They also offer good grip and wear, but also offer</pre>
<pre>improved wet and snow traction.</pre>
<pre>High performance tires are what you see on most tuned and high</pre>
<pre>performance cars. They offer great traction on dry roads, offer</pre>
<pre>acceptable wear, but not much else. These are mainly for driving fast.</pre>
<pre>Drag radials are not as popular as high performance tires, but they</pre>
<pre>serve a purpose. Drag radial tires are made from a special compound that</pre>
<pre>will become sticky when their temperature is raised (through burnouts).</pre>
<pre>They offer great traction fro drag racing, but are not that good for</pre>
<pre>cornering and handling. They also wear faster than other forms of tires</pre>
<pre>and cost more money.</pre>
<pre>You will have to make a decision on what kind of driving you will do</pre>
<pre>most often before deciding on what type of tire would be best for you.</pre>
<pre>5. Tire Speed Rating</pre>
<pre>A letter at the end of your tire code denotes the speed rating. So a</pre>
<pre>250/20 R 18 W would have a W speed rating. I have included a chart below</pre>
<pre>that denotes the tire ratings. This is not that important, because you</pre>
<pre>will be obeying the speed limit (wink) A S rated tire will do you just</pre>
<pre>fine. But if you plan on doing some "passionate" driving, choose your</pre>
<pre>tire speed rating accordingly. Here are the speed ratings. All figures</pre>
<pre>are in MPH</pre>
<pre>N = 87</pre>
<pre>P = 93 ?</pre>
<pre>Q = 99 ?</pre>
<pre>R = 106 ?</pre>
<pre>S = 112 ?</pre>
<pre>T = 118 ?</pre>
<pre>H = 130</pre>
<pre>V = 149 ?</pre>
<pre>W = 168 ?</pre>
<pre>Y = 186 ?</pre>
<pre>ZR = 149</pre>
<pre>If you take all of these factors into account before you buy a new set</pre>
<pre>of wheels and tires for your car, you will have no problem finding a</pre>
<pre>great deal on a great looking set of wheels and tires for your new car.</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Wheels have a major part to play in your car, starting from the drivers and passenger&#8217;s safety to the performance level and appearance. An appropriate car wheel is very important for both safety and performance.</p>
<p>Car wheels regarding safety: -</p>
<p>When we know that we are travelling long distances often we check the tire pressure to avoid disasters. We keep a spare tire that can be used as a back- up. But at times people forget the basic requirements of the car. Every car has some basic requirements. The tires have to match the needs of your car but for some people this is just crap. For them style is important and often these people fix wheels that are customized and can be unsuitable for the car. This can mean that you are risking your life. This does not mean that you should give up on fashion aspects. Instead you should look for the wheels that meet the requirements of your car. And surely there are a wide variety of wheels that can match all necessary aspects.</p>
<p>Car wheels regarding technology; -</p>
<p>Lately the Honda Civic has included the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). If at all your car tire pressure is low immediately the driver car will be alerted as to which tire requires attention. This way safety level is increased and you can surely overcome a possible disaster. Tires that are used are adaptable to the changing conditions and this means that you can ride your vehicle in all climates, well almost all by just getting the right type of tires.</p>
<p>Car wheels to make a proper choice for your car: -</p>
<p>Many experts insist on fixing the same tires that you had first got when you bought the vehicle from the manufacturer. Surely this is an advisable fact, but this does not mean that you should not be upgrading your tires. There are many substitute tires that are available. They have both, safety and great performance levels. They are available with superior rims. Regarding these tires, you should be aware of its compatibility with your car. For this, you can approach an expert and take his/her opinion regarding new wheels that you want for your car.</p>
<p>If you consider the basic requirements of your car regarding wheels, then you need to be certain that you are safe in your car. As far as fashion is considered, you get alloy wheels in different patterns that can match your preference. So if you are looking for new car wheels make sure that you consider all the important factors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify">Vertical doors are also called butterfly doors or dihedral doors. These are a type of door often used on high-class automobiles. The Mercedes -Benz SLR Mclaren,EXY-10,Enzo Ferrari, Toyota Sera,Mclaren F1,Saleen S7 and the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale , among others, use vertical doors. These doors take a lot of interest. When door open vertically, it gets the &#8220;butterfly&#8221; effect, making waves wherever it is. People stop and notice these types of modifications because they are exceptional, very attractive and rare. These door kits are now available for most cars, and come as a universal kit that can be fitted to almost any vehicle. Some of the kits will need a minute body work, but others are a direct bolt in.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify">This form of door was first introduced in the Alfa Romeo Carabo concept car, designed by Marcello Gandini .To solve a problem Marcello used the same doors in the Lamborghini Countach whose wide chassis mandated this curious door configuration. The Lamborghini had a very wide base, and a traditional door design would not allow for simple entering and exiting, especially if parked next to anything. Marcello designed a door hinge system that lifts the doors vertically and only slightly out war, clearing the door of the opening, and also allowing the wide body car to fit in traditional spaces. The design was carried forward to the Countach&#8217;s heir, the Lamborghini Diablo. The only present Lamborghini in production which uses this design is the Lamborghini Murcielago.Thats why vertical doors are called as Lamborghini door also.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify">Vertical doors are an immense addition to any show car. They come in manual and automatic varieties. Vertical Doors, Inc. is credited with the patent on the design people are most recognizable with. There are several companies that create similar products marketed under the product called vertical doors. They are also referred to as Lamborghini doors or 90 degree doors. This design unites some of the advantages of a conventional door and the traditional gullwing door. The door can open upward rather than outward, which is main in wide cars. The hinge is in a like location as a conventional door, so a convertible version of the car is not prevented by the door design. There are the traditional &#8220;vertical&#8221; doors which open vertically. These kits use specially made brackets and gas shocks to open the doors outward slightly, then upwards. They can be adjusted to open further before going up to make it easier to get in and out of.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Chrome rims have to be cautiously chosen according to the type of vehicle. Any difference in the weight ratio affects the car’s performance. The weight of the chrome rims ought to be proportional to the vehicle’s weight. The maximum load rating of the rim must be well-matched with the vehicle it is used on. The holes for the lugs on the chrome rims must match the lugs on the vehicle&#8217;s tires.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Chrome rims are the most popular available rims today. A chrome wheel adds a touch of class to a car and provides the ultimate upgrade to any new or used car. Chrome rims can be installed either by exchanging or by plating the existing wheels with chrome or an existing wheel rim of the vehicle with it. The process of chrome plating is simple and easy. The wheels are cleaned to remove dirt and grime. The wheel surface is plated with copper and polished to make sure a smooth surface. A layer of nickel is then added followed by a layer of chromium, to form the shiny appearance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Chrome rims are simple to clean and involve only an application of buffing and chrome polish. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">They are also designed to suit other vehicles such as motorcycles. Rims made from cast aluminum can be transformed into chrome rims without any trouble. Many car owners also use custom designed rims and this improves the look of a vehicle. The size of the rim increases with the size of the car. Larger cars have rims that can go up to 27 inches and beyond.<span>  </span>Smaller cars have rims that are 13 inches in diameter. Increasing the size of the rim boosts the performance, as well as the look of the vehicle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">“Plus sizing” is a term that refers to increasing the size of the car rim in proportion to the wheel. A larger surface area of the wheel comes in contact with the road when the size of the rim is enlarged. So it gives the driver the capacity to handle corners more capably and with a better steering response. One of the popular car rims today is that includes spinners. These rims cause an optical illusion. The wheel looks as still spinning when a vehicle is stationary.<span>  </span>These wheels are designed to attract one’s attention. They don’t have any specific utility value, but are popular however. Chrome wheel rims are popular due to their shiny exterior. In the last decade, many other types of alloy rims have been introduced in the market. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Several things go into fitting the right wheel and tire combination on your vehicle.  Making sure you check with your vehicle manufacturer to find out every small detail about your vehicle is very very important.  It is important to know also exactly what type of wheels and tires you are putting on your car.</p>
<p>Wheels are determined whether they will fit a vehicle based on a few factors.  Those factors are the wheel diameter, the width, the offset, and finally the bolt pattern.  All of these factors are very important but some are more important initially when figuring out which wheels to get to fit your vehicle.  Other measurements will determine which type of tires you can put on the wheels.</p>
<p>The most important is the bolt pattern, you need the correct bolt pattern to fit the axel in your car.  This is very important and the wrong bolt pattern wheel will not fit on your car or truck.  For example, I have a Toyota Corolla and and  my bot pattern that my axels take is 4&#215;100.  That means I will be needing a wheel and tire combination that also takes 4 lugs.  Some times some wheels might have 8 holes so that they can fit more than one type of vehicle bolt pattern.  Just make sure it is able to fit your vehicle for one of the fitments.</p>
<p>Tune in next time to learn more about how to fit the right wheels and tires on your vehicle.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">To assure correct fitment, accurate replacement wheel size, dimension and load-carrying capacity are serious. Always consult the wheel manufacturer/distributor&#8217;s literature to confirm that the desired wheel and tire combination is an up to standard application for the vehicle. Using tires of different sizes may also cause damage to your vehicle. Be sure to use the same size and type tires on all wheels. According to RMA guidelines, there is risk in installing a tire of one rim diameter on a rim of a different rim diameter. Always replace a tire on a rim with another tire of just the same rim diameter designation and suffix letters. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Being able to read and comprehend the information printed on a tire&#8217;s sidewall will make it easier for you to comprehend your tires and assist you in choosing a replacement set. One of the most significant facts for wheel and tire is width.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Width is significant to assuring customer satisfaction and pleasure. Besides correct fitment, width of wheel and tire also influences handling and ride quality. Always choose a rim width within the range of the tire&#8217;s acceptable rim width specifications. A wider rim raises vehicular stability, steering response and cornering ability. A rule of thumb is to use a rim width 90% as wide as the tread width (not section width) of a performance tire for street applications. This provides an excellent balance between performance and ride quality. Always be sure that the chosen rim width is within the tire&#8217;s range of acceptable rim width specifications. A narrow rim would result in an improvement in ride quality, but may forgo the tire&#8217;s ultimate performance capabilities. A mid-range rim width provides a balance between handling capabilities and ride quality. An example of a proper application would be to use a 15&#8243; x 6&#8243; wheel for a 205/70VR15 tire. Never try to mix mill metric wheels and tires with standard inch wheels and tires. An improper application would be mounting a 200/60R390 size tire on any 15&#8243; wheel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">A 390mm tire is designed to fit on a wheel with a diameter of approximately 15.35&#8243; with a non-standard bead seat. Reading your tire&#8217;s sidewall</span> is a must anytime tires are mounted on wheels.<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> Always keep in mind that a proper and accurate size of the wheels and tires develop both the performance and look of your vehicle and your</span> life depends on a few square inches of rubber<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> when you drive your car or truck.</span></p>
