What are alloy wheels?
For some people, a car is just a convenient way to get from A to B, for others it is an extension of their personality. The wheels are the part where customisation meets safety and practicality, without altering the bodywork. Alloy wheels are lighter and offer better handling than steel and are essentially a compound of two or more materials. The two most common metal used in alloy wheels is aluminium. The aluminium is blended with nickel to make a stronger and lighter material than steel. With the added bonus that they look better; for a great range of alloy wheels in Beckenham, Wheel power is one of the best around!
