Alloy Wheel Finishes for your Used Wheels, OEM Rims, & OEM Wheels<\/strong>
\nWithin the last few years, alloy wheels have become more common than steel rims.\u00a0 Alloy rims used to be considered standard equipment only on expensive luxury cars or sports cars,\u00a0 but\u00a0 are now being offered as a regular option on cars like the Saab 9-7X<\/a> , Honda Prelude<\/a> , and pretty much all standard vehicles.\u00a0 Compared to steel wheels, alloy rims make driving performance better and enhances the cosmetic look.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

OEM Rims come in several different finishes, such as<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Painted<\/p>\n

2. Polished<\/p>\n

3. Machined\/Brushed Aluminum<\/p>\n

4. Chrome<\/p>\n

\u201cPainted\u201d is the most common finish for OEM Wheels.\u00a0 Painted alloy wheels can be any color, but are usually silver, black, white, or gray. Another frequently used finish is\u00a0 \u201cMachined or Brushed Aluminum\u201d.\u00a0 You can easily recognize a machined alloy rim by the thin lines that are cut into the aluminum surface, similar to a CD.\u00a0 The strongest and most long-lasting finish on alloy wheels is \u201cChrome\u201d.\u00a0 Chrome alloy rims have a mirror-like reflection which make them noticeable.\u00a0 Even though they\u2019re the most expensive alloy wheel, they\u2019re still very popular.\u00a0 One of the hardest finishes to identify is \u201cPolished\u201d. \u00a0 because of its similar look to chrome, but polished alloy rims won\u2019t have a reflection when viewed in the bright sunlight. <\/p>\n
