FACTORY WHEELS BENEFITS

When there’s a need to replace your rims, you are free to choose between 2 options: OEM factory or aftermarket wheels. Original equipment factory wheels are fabricated by the OEM manufacturer and have the exact same specifications as your original rims to ensure precise fitment and perfectly complement your vehicle’s look. Aftermarket or non-original rims, on the contrary, are designed by independent manufacturers to fit many different vehicles. Plus, OEM manufacturers set very high standards and often aftermarket wheels don’t meet these standards, as evidenced by numerous reports about wheels’ cracking or falling apart.

OEM AND REPLICA WHEELS COMPARISON

OEM wheels are considered the best for many reasons. These wheels feature proven quality as they’ve been thoroughly tested for countless times in contrast to replica wheels that have undergone little or no quality checks. You should also bear in mind that the rims are always subject to road salt, grime, and car wash chemicals. Soon after a month of service, replica wheels (especially chrome and diamond cut wheels and the ones with polished lips) are likely to lose their pristine look and thus negatively impact the value of your vehicle.

PRECISE FITMENT

Worrying about whether or not your new set of wheels will fit your vehicle? Never mind! When shopping at CARiD, you won’t deal with fitment issues. We offer wheels that are accurately engineered to strict OEM specifications to closely duplicate the factory rims. They are guaranteed to provide the right diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and hub bore for your specific vehicle.

VEHICLE OPERATION

OEM factory wheels are the perfect solution for a safe and comfortable driving experience. Even the slightest difference in size can affect the quality of your ride. This is especially true when installing wheels that are larger in size than the original rims that came with your vehicle without finding the appropriate tires for your new rims. In this case, the wheels are more susceptible to damage on a bumpy road.

TPMS SENSORS

We recommend new sensors for your new wheels because the last thing you want to do is to transfer the original sensors from your factory wheels. There is also a high risk of damage since it’s rather difficult to replace the battery. Plus, the OEM sensors may not fit your new rims.
