No, not necessarily. The term \u201cwheel hop\u201d refers to when your wheels aggressively vibrate, wobble, or any kind of motion like that whenever you accelerate. If you keep driving like this, then you can eventually damage not only your factory wheels, but your axles & sometimes your transmission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the whole process:<\/p>\n

1. Acceleration starts with a good grip.
\n2. When the wheels move forward, the grip decreases; wheelspin eventually occurs.
\n3. In the course of wheelspin, the acceleration is very small; the wheels eventually move back again & the tire regains grip.
\n4. When you accelerate again, the process repeats.<\/p>\n

Wanna get rid of it? Just \u201climit the motion of the wheel with respect to the chassis\u201d, or that\u2019s what this web site says (: (\u201cUnderstanding Wheel Hop\u201d http:\/\/www.mc2racing.com\/tech\/20061012a\/index.html) \u00a0<\/p>\n

You would think it\u2019s most common in trucks, like the Chevrolet Silverado<\/a>, considering it\u2019s heavy in the front & lighter in the back – but that really isn\u2019t the case. The bottom line is if you\u2019re one of those people that always like to take off as soon as the light turns green, you probably need to stop that. It really isn\u2019t that big a deal if you notice it when \u201cWheel Hop\u201d happens, but if you put it off & wait to fix it; then we have a problem. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Still don’t know why it’s so important to have Factory Original Rims on your car? Read this: Why are OEM Alloy Wheels so important?<\/a><\/p>\n
