Good quality steel rims. How to choose?

Even though buyers' awareness of counterfeit alloy wheels is growing, drivers often forget to be careful when buying steel wheels . More and more Chinese-made steel rims are entering the Polish market. It should be remembered that the country of origin of the wheels alone is not a determinant of quality, because even the most reputable concerns often transfer production to the Republic of China in order to reduce costs.

However, the problem is the presence of "no-name" nibs on the market - that is, goods without a logo and manufacturer's name, which do not meet the basic requirements. What do we really risk when buying wheels of unknown origin and how to avoid it? Here are some tips that may help you identify counterfeit steel rims.

Unfortunately, we are not able to check the strength of the rims and assess the quality of the steel ourselves, but we can closely look at the quality of workmanship.

• We should pay attention to the shape of the rim supporting the tire. Any bend or surface defect at the rim may result in air leakage from the wheel.
• Next, let's take a look at the individual air vents on the rims. They should not have any sharp edges or burrs left over from production.
• We also check if the valve hole has any gaps or sharp edges.
• We carefully measure the central bore.
• If we buy rims in a specialized factory, the rims should be checked on a balancer to eliminate any deviations in the mounting plane.
• Counterfeit rims also differ in weight compared to their original counterparts. On the Internet, we can find a list of weights of individual rim models for comparison.

It should be remembered that the low price is due not only to the reduced production costs, but also the quality of the metal alloys used and the quality of processing. Therefore, the more of the above-mentioned defects we find on the steel rim that we want to buy - the greater the probability that we have found a counterfeit product. Remember that the choice of wheels largely determines our safety.
