The Wheel P.C.D (Pitch Circle Diameter):
The P.C.D is the measurement of the bolt holes on your standard wheels. Rimstyle.com takes your car manufacturer and model and only shows you wheels that are made with the same bolt hole measurement, to ensure they will fit. -
The Wheel Offset (ET):
The wheel offset determines how far under or how far out the wheel will sit in relation to the cars outer arches once bolted to the car. Rimstyle.com works out what offset range your car is suited to and only shows you wheels within this range to ensure that your wheels sit perfectly on your car in relation to the arches. -
The Front and Rear Tyre Size:
Each car begins life with its own tyre size. When upgrading to larger wheels, smaller wheels or wheels of the same size there are a select few tyre sizes that can be used. Rimstyle.com is programmed with these so when you view a wheel and tyre package online the price includes the CORRECT tyre sizes for your vehicle. This means the correct fit, reduced road noise, improved road holding, and comfort. -
The Wheel Diameter:
Watch out for competitor sites, if they don’t mention tyre size, you may be buying a package with the wrong size and will incur more cost further down the line.
The wheel diameter is basically the size of the wheel. With rimstyle.com it allows you to view wheels in sizes that can be fitted to your vehicle and gives you all the size options. -
The Front and Rear Wheel Width/s:
The wheel width is important. Some wheels are too wide for some cars, some cars need wider rear widths, but rimstyle.com knows this and where a wider rear is need, it will show you, and if you wish to go for that staggered wider rear look, if its made, rimstyle.com offers it. -
The Centre Bore:
The centre bore is the hole drilled in the centre of the back of the wheel. This is usually greater than the diameter of the hub lip it willl mount on to and rimstyle.com ensures that a ring can be provided to fit into the centre bore hole for perfect fitment before showing the wheel to you. Some wheels are also direct fit and will not require spigot rings. -
Fitting Kit (Wheel bolts/nuts and spigot rings):
A fitting kit is an important part of the package and where necessary it is FREE. This includes the correct size spigot rings if needed to give a perfect fit with no vibration, and nuts or bolts, whichever is relevant to ensure the wheels are correctly fitted to the car. There are several different types of nuts and bolts but you don’t need to worry, its all programmed into rimstyle.com and it selects the kit for you.
Not only does our website cleverly check all these aspects before you order, our in-house alloy wheel experts will double check every fitting aspect to obtain a great fitment for your new wheels.
