A tour of any tire stores web site will wake you up to a world of beautifully-styled, high-quality custom chrome, polished and painted rims from well-know manufacturers such as American Racing, Avenue, Cragar Classic, DUB, Pulse and many others. There are benefits of having custom wheels and tire packages installed at local tire stores that consumers can take advantage of besides a wide selection.
Local tire stores help you with high quality, vehicle-specific and exact fitments. Your local tire stores carry wheels manufactured using strict quality control standards, so your custom wheel and tire package will meet or exceed the most recognized alloy wheels industry standards, such as:
JWL Certification - Japan Light Alloy Wheel standard is a certification level instituted by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport which requires that alloy wheels being purchased in Japan must have the JWL mark on the wheels themselves. This shows that the alloy wheels have passed through this rigorous self-certification process.
TUV Certification - Technischer Uberwachungs-Verien is another third-party testing group which began in Germany. This association now has locations worldwide and the TUV Certification is the highest performance and durability standard any product can hope to meet. To be considered for testing, all companies must first be ISO 9001:2000 compliant.
Tire stores sell alloy wheels that adhere to these standards that include various testing procedures to determine the reliability and quality of your vehicle's wheel.
Cost-Effective and Convenient
Many tire stores include detailed installation instructions and can also switch tires at your convenience with no appointment necessary. Of course, you can change them in your own garage between based on your personal needs and seasons (e.g. winter, street or race) if you have the right equipment.
Many times, all necessary hardware (center caps, centering rings, lugs, etc.) are included at no charge with most custom wheels. Few wheel applications use Original Equipment hardware, do not use center caps, or have caps only as an optional accessory at an additional cost. Make sure that you know what comes with your package by talking with an ASE certified mechanic at one of your local tire stores about the exact hardware included based on vehicle - tire and wheel selected.
Professional Mount & Balance and TPMS
After your local tire stores have helped you put together a tire and wheel package that fits your needs and makes your car really stand out in a crowd they will ensure scratchless mounting and hidden weight balancing on alloy wheels.
Also TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors purchased as part of a package can be installed too. After 2002, many vehicles manufactured had TPMS installed in them. Tire stores carry an extensive line of affordable replacement sensors to fit any car or light truck. When you are shopping for a tire and wheel package, make sure to include a good TPMS sensor if your car is not equipped or if your sensors have failed or become defective.
