Plus-size your car with 4wd alloy wheels

The visual appeal of larger-than-life wheels, full-size dish rims and mega-sized tires is undeniable. However, a lot can be said about the benefits and direct effects to driving about the four wheel drive or 4wd alloy wheels.

From a general perspective, larger wheels have the following characteristics:

• Larger wheels are heavier
• Additional weight hinders performance
• Installing larger wheels and tires takes a longer duration of time
• Larger wheels result is lesser fuel and acceleration efficiency

However, even though the above four pointers may seem like it is probably not a good idea to plus-size your car, the profits of the huge wheels, may change your mind.

A principal difference between steel rims and allow wheels in a 4wd is that when you happen to crash into a pole or worse and your frame faces a dent, bump or crack all you need is a big hammer and a tough arm. Steel wheel rims can easily be fixed with a hammer to even out the dent. However, if an alloy wheel is cracked, there’s no escape.

The key reason for 4wd alloy wheels are to modernise the appearance and feel of the car or truck, the secondary reason you could go in for an plus-size upgrade would be for more controlled and safe steering while racing or out on an adventure. 

Improved handling:

Bigger cars allow smoother driving with lesser bumps. Even braking and parking are more efficient. Plus-sizing definitely improves the handling of the car. The bigger tires help with better, faster and smoother driving responses.

Look good and feel good:

The large wheels coupled with the alloy finishing look chic, modern and incomparable. 

Rough terrain vehicle:

The 4wd alloy wheels can handle all kinds of topography and weather conditions. Mountains, deserts, winding hill roads can be easily trudged across during monsoons, winters and summer without any cracking or fracturing effects to the wheels.

Better mechanics:

When executed properly, even the accuracy, speed and odometer to the car is retained to increase working efficiency.

Why you should opt for 4wd over 2wd?

Four wheel drives are constantly meant to provide supremacy and motor capacity to all four wheels of your vehicle. Optional systems available in different types of cars will enable you to switch from 4wd to 2wd and back. 4wd wheels on the other hand are designed to look and function at a higher power and functionality.

Even though the cost of installing or purchasing a 4wd system with alloy wheels would be more expensive the advantages of an SUV over a hatchback are safety, aesthetic appeal and power for all terrains and seasons.

When most 4wd alloy wheels are reviewed, the best attributes repeatedly mentioned are the grip and traction of the wheels during rain and snow. Chances of skidding, leading to major accidents are immediately minimized due to the high glue mechanism of these wheels onto the road. With a 2wd, you could drive onto a field and get stuck.

You could be stuck in a ditch or caught on a dirt path... But with a 4wd you can be assured that you can move around easily without ever being “stuck in life”!
