All Wheels are not Created Equal - Just Check out these Ford Alloy Wheels

Alloy wheels differ from normal steel wheels because of their lighter weight, which improves the steering and the speed of the car, however some alloy wheels are heavier than the equivalent size steel wheel. Alloy wheels are also better heat conductors than steel wheels, improving heat dissipation from the brakes, which reduces the chance of brake failure in more demanding driving conditions.

Alloy wheels are prone to galvanic corrosion if appropriate preventive measures are not taken, which can in turn cause the tires to leak air. Also, alloy wheels are more difficult to repair than steel wheels when bent, but their higher price usually makes repairs cheaper than replacement and even severely damaged wheels can often be repaired to like new, though this depends on how badly the owner wishes to salvage the wheel and its intrinsic worth or availability.

OK, so now you know all about it – what options have you got for your Ford Alloy Wheels?

Well if you are planning to buy a new Ford, then all models from the Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Kuga 4x4 and The Ranger Pick-up come with Alloy Wheels as standard
