Are there times where you’re driving down the street & you just so happen to stop at a light, look at the car next to you & say, “Those Factory Rims look good; I need a new set of Factory Original Rims .” 

Original Wheels that you would put on a car are like the cherry that you put on top of that perfect sundae. The ice cream is good, it has different flavors to it & is very appealing; when you put that bright red cherry on it, it’s irresistible. Same thing goes for the car with OEM Rims; the color on the car is nice, it’s clean, has tinted windows, & a sun roof. When you put that new set of OE Wheels on your car, everyone will stop & stare. 

Since you found our amazing site, you will no longer need to say, ” I need a Wheel ” or ” Factory Original Rims are what I need “. Lucky you.

Sincerely,
Mykalanne

A lot of people don’t know what HHR stands for, so let me tell you. HHR stands for “Heritage High Roof”. It’s specifically designed after the 1949 Chevy Suburban; that specific vehicle had large & square fender flares with a hemispherical grille. 

A man named Bryan Nesbitt is the one who deserves all the credit for designing this amazing vehicle. He was a former designer at Chrysler & designed the PT Cruiser .. which is most likely the reason why they almost have the same design. 

In the IIHS Safety Tests, the Chevy HHR earned a “Good” for an overall score in a crash test & an “Acceptable” score for side impacts. If that doesn’t work for you, you can always check out the 2006 Chevrolet HHR Rims we have on our website & that will probably make you happy (: 

Thanks for reading,
Mykalanne.

Motorcycle Wheels really are no different from your typical OE 2005 Mercury Mountaineer Rims that come on the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer .. obviously. They are usually made with Steel Spokes & an Aluminum Hub. Sometimes they even have like a Magnesium-Type Cast material or a Machined Finish. At one point in time, Motorcycles had wheels that had spokes that were made of different material .. if that makes any sense. If you happen to get a glimpse of Performance Racing Motorcycles, you’ll see that they use Carbon-Fiber Wheels. 

When the Wire Wheels are installed on a Motorcycle, they usually have a central hub connected to the rim of the wheel. The spokes happen to be completely firm & cannot be easily bent even if you tried. Even though they may be on a motorcycle, they always live up to their “Wire Wheel” expectations.  

How cool, huh?

I have no idea about you, but when I think of Hardware; I just think of the wood, tools, & stuff that you get at places like Home Depot or Lowe’s .. too bad that’s not the hardware that we’re talking about here. 

The equipment & tools that attach the wheel to your car is overlooked most of the time whenever someone installs a new set of OE 2003 Honda Elements Wheels .. or whatever wheels you may have. If you just so happen to purchase a set or any Aftermarket Rims, you’re going to need different bolts from the ones that came standard on your car when you first bought it. As we already reviewed, the 3 most common Bolts are Acorn, Ball, & Mag Shank. 

Since there are more than 3 Bolts, this can make it very confusing for people to install the new wheels on their vehicle, but just try to do your research; okay?  

Hope this helps, 
Mykalanne.

Whenever I go to San Diego, I always take the train; & I always wonder why they use Steel Wheels instead of the regular Alloy Rims & Tires. When I did my “research”, I discovered that they used Steel Wheels to lessen Rolling Friction.

Say you’re driving on the freeway, only 25% of the engine’s power is being used to push & hold the tires down to the road. Since the tires usually bend a lot & pretty much deform when they roll, this causes them to use a lot of energy. Considering a train weighs a lot more than a car does, the Rolling Resistance is a huge factor when it comes to determining how much force it actually takes to pull the train. 

When there’s OEM Steel Wheels on a train, the quantity of deformation is minimized; therefore, it reduces the Rolling Resistance. The only thing with Steel Wheels is that they really don’t have as much traction as they should have. Imagine 2002 Hyundai Sonata Rims (the Steel ones) on trains? The hubcaps would be flying all over the place. 

Off to San Diego,

Let’s start off with something cool : If you put an In-Wheel Motor behind all four of your OEM 2005 Range Rover Wheels , you’ll have more than 600 Horsepower. They can gain their own energy while they brake, too. I told you it was cool. 

One main question that people have is, “Is there enough torque for each application?” Since torque is pretty important .. right? 

The fact of the matter is that when a vehicle has these In-Wheel Motors, there is more than enough torque available. All the torque that is produced is transferred to the wheel; which means that very little is lost. Each wheel actually has some sort of sensor that determines how much torque the vehicle needs at specific points in time. 

If anything, I think that these In-Wheel Motors for Factory Original Rims may be smart & proficient enough to replace the engines that we have in our cars. 

Don’t you agree?
Mykalanne.

The reason why I like these cars so much is because I liked the way they looked from 1955-1964 .. so about ten years. I think it’s because they’re so classic looking & will look good on the road any day of the week (: Wouldn’t you agree? 

Anyway, as you probably know, there are many generations to this vehicle. It’s not so many that I dont have time to name, but there is more than enough. 

The reason it has the name “Deville” is because it refers to the town car body style. The Deville has a Chauffeur’s compartment & a surrounding passenger compartment. This expression was also used by Lincoln in 1922; so it was way before Cadillac even thought about using it. In true Cadillac language, the word Deville was used first to designate a deluxe trim level on “pillarless”-body cars. 

Of course the OEM Wheels are going to change, but I think the 1992 Cadillac Deville Rims are the best. Why? Because look at the Wire Wheel that came on that thing ! It’s like an Original one ! Those don’t come on today’s cars anymore ): But if I had to pick a “newer”, I’d pick the 2004 Cadillac Deville Wheels because they just look so elegant; well they look elegant to me.

Off to the Auto Show,

Remember I told you guys I liked SUV’s? Here’s another : the Buick Rainier. I have no idea why I like SUV’s .. I think it’s cause I feel safe in them; but that’s not important. Here are some facts you may or may not know about this fabulous car : 

-It was only manufactured 2004-2007.

-The production ended on December 23, 2008. 

-It’s predecessor was the Oldsmobile Bravada & it’s successor is the Buick Enclave. 

-It has a 4-Speed Automatic Transmission. 

You would know that this is a nice car because if you look at the 2005 Buick Rainier Wheels , they are mostly chrome; which means that they are looked highly upon. You know what I mean? It really didn’t get that great of a score on some crash tests, but that’s probably why they stopped production.  

Off to the beach for some reason,
Mykalanne.

As you read in Karijia’s blog “411 On Lug Nuts”, there are different types of Lugs that you need for those 2008 Buick Lucerne Rims , or any rims you may have for that matter. The reason for this is because if you buy a new OEM wheel & try to replace it for the old one, you may have a little bit of a problem.

Different wheels have different Lug Seat designs while others just have shorter lug heads. There are typically 3 Lug Seat Types : Conical (Tapered), Ball (Radius), & Flat. Conical has an end that kind of looks like the side of an Octagon, the Ball Lugs have a round edge, & the Flat ones simply have a Flat edge .. hence the name “Flat Lug”. 

If you need any help with the types of lugs that you have on your wheel, you can call us at 800) 826 5880 for all of your questions & all of your wheel needs.

Off to bolt,

The BMW 1 Series is actually a compact car & a family car designed by German Maker BMW (obviously). If you didn’t know, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke .. which in English, translates to Bavarian Motor Works; but you knew that already, right? 

The 1 Series was launched in the Fall Season of 2004 & includes wheels like OE BMW 128i Wheels & Factory Original BMW 135i Rims . The purpose of the 1 Series is so that people can feel like they can afford a classy wheel like this since the 3 Series was doing so well & moving up in the industry & in price. 

The 1 Series is relatively new here in the United States; it was released in model year 2008-which was actually June 30, 2007. I have no idea why they add a year to the car, you know? Anyway, since this is OriginalWheels.com ; we’re looking at the wheels .. so wouldn’t you say that these wheels are pretty nice?  

Off to the BMW Dealership,
