Custom wheels are one of the most common ways in which old car buffs and younger car enthusiasts customize their vehicles. As with most things in life you can settle for being average or you can stand out in the crowd. Installing a new set of custom chrome rims on your car will surely make heads turn.
Appearance oriented car enthusiasts look for the shine in chrome wheels. However you can also get great looks with polished aluminum wheels. Be prepared to spend more time on polished aluminum wheels compared to chrome plated custom alloy wheels. Black custom rims are a new hot style now seen on small tuner cars. Plus there are many other colors to choose from that will match your Honda tuner car.
Competition oriented car enthusiasts buy custom wheels for the performance benefits. Custom aluminum alloy wheels are much lighter and stronger than ordinarily steel wheels and they look great also. Install wider wheels on the rear for that mean look on restored 60s muscle cars such as Chevelles, Mustangs and Chargers.
Any street driven car can take advantage of aftermarket custom wheels by increased gas mileage as well as better performance. All due to the reduced weight of custom alloy wheels.
