New Wheels? New Decisions
Check out these black wheels with black detailing on this Lexus. Another successful job done by Phoenix Express Rim Repair and Wheel Color Coating. You’ve decided to change the wheels on your ride. Congratulations, you are now entering a long fun list of decisions to make. Diameter, width, bolts, spacing and offset all come into play when considering a new set of wheels for your car or truck.
The look, color and style of the wheels matters as much as the fit. With careful considerations, you can have the perfect combo. Read below to find out some key factors when deciding on the best wheels for your vehicle.
Budget
According to a few searches we conducted online, we determined that OEM alloy wheels cost anywhere from $70 to over $500. Yes, you read that right. Regardless of the make and model of the vehicle – the availability, size and material of the rim is the determining factor and it’s not always higher for luxury vehicles.
Rim Color
Sometimes this can be a tricky decision. Do you want traditional metal wheels, or colored wheels? If color, what hue(s)? An important thing to consider is the existing trim package. What color is the trim, bumpers, exterior windows or other accessories? Do you want to match, compliment or contrast with these finishes? Do you want to go bold, or subtle? Sleek or sporty? Refined or aggressive. The colors accenting features on your vehicle can turn your car into a whole new personality and turn heads too.
It goes without saying that any decisions made about color should be well thought out. This is something that can affect you for as long as you own the car and the resale value as well. If you decide to get color-coated wheels at the wrong place, that can be a costly mistake. That’s why you always want to choose Phoenix Rim Repair and Color Coating, we guarantee all our work, and color match.
A popular choice we are seeing more and more, and recommend, is black or dark color coats. Lighter finishes can easily display sprinklings of brake dust and debris.
Chrome wheels without color tend to look best when polished which can be time consuming. Sometimes an aluminum clear-coated wheel is a smarter option. No matter the material or color, it is important to clean rims regularly so they can sparkle and shine like they duly should. Maintaining a straight from the factory appearance is the goal.

Fit to Be Square ...or Have Stagger
What is the difference between square and staggered wheels? Depending on if you have a front, rear, four or all-wheel drive, you can use different wheel widths.
The wheels on the front and back are the same width on a square fitment, this is standard for most vehicles.
With a staggered fitment, the wheels on the back of the vehicle are wider. A staggered fitment gives you a wider tire with a wider patch on the road. In dry conditions, you’ll get better performance and better handling. And your car or truck will have a more “aggressive” and spunky appearance without being over the top.
When possible, staggered wheels can offer a unique look and stronger performance. It is an important option when considering aftermarket wheels and wheel sizes.
