A Little Bit About KMC Wheels

What's the first modification you would make to your truck? For most people the answer is tires. Most truck owners start by upgrading their stock tires to ones that are better suited for their needs, and while they're down there, why not replace the stock wheels with some aftermarket rims?

KMC Wheels from KMC Wheel Company are a great way to add a little flair to your truck, Jeep, or SUV. As far as aftermarket rims or wheels go, KMC wheels definitely add to the aesthetics of your ride without sacrificing high speed performance. KMC wheels are made with great attention to detail as well as performance, which is why they are considered one of the very best brands of wheels out there.

What's the difference between rims and wheels? None. Rims just sound more "street." One of the few differences, which you will rarely see, is that a rim is sometimes joined a little more flush at the lip where a tire seals. Whatever you call them, KMC wheels are considered one of the best (if not THE best) manufacturers of aftermarket wheels and rims. They have been in business for almost thirty years and have always focused on making quality, stylish products for truck enthusiasts.

What size wheels should you get? If you're looking for a serious street performance wheel, then KMC wheels sized 16 inches to 19 inches are the way to go. If you're looking for something a little more urban that screams "look at my sweet ride," then 20 inch KMC "dubs" or larger KMC rims are what you want. Check out some truck forums and blogs to see examples of what might work for your rig.

Everyone has their own style and preference when it comes to color - from flashy chrome to matte black. There is no right decision, so choose the size that will make you happiest and make your truck look the best.

When choosing your wheels, brand and size are not your only decisions to make. You also need to decide between steel and alloy wheels (also referred to as chrome wheels). KMC Wheel Company started out by making steel wheels in 1982, but they currently only make alloy wheels so if you're purchasing a KMC wheel, then that's your only option. Steel isn't used as much by the top manufacturers, even though it's cheaper, because wheels made from alloy are better. Alloy wheels are lighter, which can help reduce fuel consumption, they don't rust, and they reduce rolling resistance, which can help your car's speed. Of course price is a factor for most consumers, but you should weigh the cost of sacrificing quality for a lower price. You don't want to buy a set of rims that will get ruined on your first off-roading trip. You don't want your investments getting bent out of shape after just a few days.

If you're going to spend a considerable amount of money on aftermarket parts, you want to make sure you're getting quality that is backed by experience and care. KMC guarantees that you will love the wheels you choose; that is why they back up their products with warranties. You could even customize your KMC wheels if you're going for the really unique look. KMC rims on your ride will definitely have you rolling in style! KMC Wheels Like No Other!
