WheelsAutomobile wheel is an integral component of each contemporary automobile. The basic idea of each car, truck or SUV is to transport the passengers from point A to point B by means of moving along a road. The task of an auto wheel is to move a vehicle on a road and to change the direction of the movement. Each modern vehicle has two pairs of wheels: front and rear. Depending on where a vehicle's engine and drive wheels are found, the automobile layout can be divided into following categories: front-, rear- and four-wheel drive.

A rim is a necessary part of every automobile wheel. Depending on the material, used in wheel rim production, there are several most common rim's types available in the contemporary automobile market:

Wheels

Every automotive wheel consists of a rim, disk and tire. A wheel manufacturing is a complex work that integrates a various production technologies and equipment. Depending on the wheel structure and applied materials, the following types of wheel production are used:

In terms of construction, a wheel rim is made as a one-, two- and three-piece auto part. Each type has its place in today's automobile market. Most alloy wheels are constructed as one-piece product. For this type the name speaks for itself. A wheel is made in a mold as a single piece. This type of rims is widely used due to its affordability and strength of the structure. Unfortunately, these wheels are hard to repair. In case of damage, the most reliable variant is to replace it with another one. One-piece rims are available with less options compared to multi-piece wheels.

As for two-pieces rim, the wheel is manufactured of center and outer barrel. Then these separate parts are welded or bolted together. This type of wheels has more options in sizes. This is possible owning to the separated parts. This also benefits to repair. There is no necessity to replace the whole wheel in case one of its parts is damaged. A lot of custom options are available for this type. The main disadvantage is the assembling process. In case a wheel is assembled improperly it can leak air.

When an inside rim half, outside rim half and center are joined using the top-notch fasteners, this type is called a three-piece rim. This type is subject to customization. Three-piece wheels are offered in a great variety of sizes and offsets. Custom paint, chrome plating and powder coat are most common types of finishes available for wheels. Three-piece rim has nearly the same drawbacks as a two-piece wheel: air leakage when not assembled correctly and high price.
