Wheel Selection & Fitment Guide
Find the right wheels for your vehicle with expert tips from Martin's Automotive. Learn about wheel materials, styles, and fitment to choose the perfect alloy, steel, or chrome wheels that match your look, performance needs, and budget.
Wheel Options
Explore alloy, steel, and chrome wheels to find the perfect balance of style, performance, and durability.
Alloy/Aluminum wheels
lighter weight, sharper steering, better cornering response
Steel Wheels
lower center of gravity, ideal for snow or rugged terrain
Chrome Finish
mirror-bright coating on alloy or steel, high durability, needs regular cleaning
Manufacturing Process
Cast, machined, or forged construction determines strength and weight
Cast Wheels (Strong)
Molten aluminum poured into a mold by gravity or low pressure.
Machined Wheels (Stronger)
Casting plus heat-spinning and precise pressurization for tighter tolerances.
Forged Wheels (Strongest)
Solid aluminum billet pressed under extreme heat and pressure for maximum density and lightness.
What to Consider
Match wheel size, weight, and terrain to your vehicle for optimal ride quality
Size
stay within your vehicle’s maximum wheel diameter and offset
Weight
lighter wheels enhance handling and braking; heavier wheels add stability but can slow response
Terrain
choose designs built for daily streets, off-road trails, or winter conditions
