FAQ
How do I confirm wheel fitment before ordering?
Confirm wheel size, width, PCD bolt pattern, center bore, ET offset, tire size, and brake clearance. VIN and current wheel specifications help verify compatibility.
Are forged wheels better than cast wheels?
Forged wheels are generally selected for strength, weight efficiency, and custom sizing flexibility. The correct choice depends on vehicle use, fitment target, and budget.
Do I need TPMS or hub-centric rings?
Some vehicles require compatible TPMS sensors and hub-centric rings for proper installation. This should be checked before shipment or installation.
Can I use staggered wheel sizes?
Staggered wheel setups can be used on many performance and luxury vehicles, but front and rear offsets, tire sizes, and fender clearance must be confirmed first.
