Chrome Rims and Chrome Wheels: Get Your Shine On! When cars were first made tires were made of steel and often coated with nickel to increase strength and durability. Steel wheels were often painted or covered with decorative hubcaps to spiff up their appearance. In the mid-20th century, manufacturers began to produce alloy wheels as a replacement to wheels made of steel. Alloy wheels are more expensive, but also lighter and allow drivers to better control the vehicle. Because they offer a better look than steel, no hubcap is required with alloy wheels. Chrome-plated alloy wheels come in many sizes, styles, and with wheel tire packages. Just visit hubcap-tire-wheel.com.Our chrome rims, chrome wheels, and tires can be purchased especially for your vehicle's specific sizes, staggered or unified, when you select one of our fine wheels. Just pick a brand you like then choose the model and size and you will find a wheel tire package creator on the same page.The spoke designs and patterns are limitless and can even be custom-made to your specifications. Chrome wheels are available in three basic looks, including matte, polished and black chrome. While all three of these options offer the same basic features, they differ in appearance and the plating can be modified to any level of sheen. We offer these fine major brands of custom wheels and rims: American Racing Wheels, American Racing Vintage Wheels, Asanti Wheels, Boss Wheels, Cabo Wheels, Cruiser Alloy Wheels, Diamo Wheels, Drifz Wheels, and Dropstars Wheels. We also carry OEM wheels from these fine manufacturers: Audi Wheels, BMW Wheels, Chevy Wheels, Dodge Wheels, Ford Wheels, and Mercedes-Benz Wheels. The benefits of chrome plating are numerous and really make a difference both in construction and appearance. First, chrome wheels are highly resistant to corrosion and rust. They are able to withstand extreme fluctuations in wether conditions and temperatures. Second, chrome is much harder and more durable than steel or aluminum. Lastly, chrome offers a shiny, mirrored finish that is unmatched by any other material. Its highly shiney and reflective look is a prized part of any car's appearance. While chrome wheels are known for their durability and strength, regular maintenance is required to keep them in good condition. Dirt and grease must be cleaned off monthly to avoid damage to the shiny surface. Use a professional chrome polish and a polishing cloth to maintain your wheels, making sure to do so only when they are cool so that the chrome doesn't flake. Published July 31, 2009
