Alloy Chrome Wheels Warrant Wins On The Racing Circuit
So you finally bought the car of your dreams. Good for you. It looks great. It smells nice inside and it drives better than anything you have ever experienced. What can you do know to make it look even better? Well, keep it nice and clean, polish the car often and check into the advantages and benefits of chrome rims.
When buying wheels, it is important to know that if the car is new, your dealer will have a limited number of custom wheels in stock. Search online or at after market automotive stores to get the best selection. Once you have decided that you are interested in chrome wheels, weigh all of the options before you make a purchase. You have several types of wheels to choose from as well as size and style to consider. There is also upkeep to understand so proceed cautiously.
Alloys were originally introduced into the market to help with controlling your car. Original wheels were made of steel, which are very heavy and cause some difficulty in maneuvering. The alloys are much lighter and you will see a noticeable improvement in how your car handles. With the price of gas skyrocketing, you will also get better gas mileage, as the change in weight is considerable. All in all, it still comes back to your personal style.
We all know that cars are literally part of your personality. When you drive down the street, there is a great satisfaction when someone notices that you have cool chrome wheels. Pride of ownership and vanity play a large part in your choices and well they should. Many people spend more time in their car than they do at their homes! So, be prepared to look at a lot of styles and pick the one that makes you feel the best.
If you are into custom cars or restoring classics, the addition of chrome wheels will be a really nice finishing touch to your work. If you attend car shows, you can see that many of the older custom cars may be all original except for the wheels and guess what? They win!! So, with the right choice in this case, you may drive home with the Best of Show trophy. In older cars, you will experience a nicer ride with chrome wheels as the weight is better and as suspension was not as good as it is in our cars today, you will find your car easier to drive.
Taking care of your new custom chrome wheels does require some work. As long as you take care of them, they will last for a long time. Use a professional chrome polish and a polishing cloth. Your wheels will get dirty and greasy, so take care. Being as most of these wheels are open, you will also get brake dust on them. Clean them when they are cool and this debris will come right off and you will not jeopardize the quality of the chrome.
It is also important to be sure that they will fit your car. Many people like having bigger tires than the manufacturer supplied them with, so before you spend your hard earned money on new wheels, be sure to know that they will fit in your wheel wells. But most importantly, make selections that actually work with your car. You may not want spoke wheels on a truck or matte wheels on a luxury car. Remember the idea is to make it look better, not to look silly!
Your car is one of the largest investments you will make in your life. Taking care of it will make it look better, run better and hold the value better. By adding chrome wheels tires, you will change the personality, cause some people to stop in their tracks in awe and most importantly make you feel great every time you get behind the wheel.
*Welding aluminum with alloy? steel? customising mx handlebars.?
So after a little reseach, its not possible to weld steel to alloy handlebars correct? (well without really expensive machienary and skill).
Please read my previous question to know what my problem is and my idea...
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
Can i weld the aluminum part to my alloy dirtbike handlebar without trouble??
As im planning to ask my local mechanic if he can quickly do it for like $20... or something.
Q1. Correct - you can't.
Q2. Link doesn't work, but I would say yes, because aluminium is also an alloy and I suspect your handlebars will be made of material with similar properties. But when all is said and done, and without knowing what alloy your bars actually are, there's really only one way to find out!
Mountain bike gear round-up: WTB Volt XC saddle (Bike Radar)
American firm WTB were founded back in 1982 in California, fuelled by a desire
to create quality mountain bike products in a time where mountain biking was a
new and burgeoning sport. Today they produce tyres, wheels, grips and saddles,
and it’s a new addition to the latter which has just landed on our desk.
The new **Volt** saddle is primarily designed for cross-country racing but is
equally at home on the road. It features a pressure-relieving cut out on the
underside, plus a groove down the length of the saddle called the “Love
Channel”.
Four versions are available; the SLT and Team have titanium rails, while Pro
and Race have weight compromises with Nicro (a hollow alloy) and cromoly
(steel) rails respectively. Shown below, the Team (£89.99) is the second tier
Volt saddle and tipped our scales at 201g. It’s mostly covered in leather but
with Kevlar round the sides for protection.

**Endura**
Next up are a couple of products from Endura’s **MT500** range. We’ll kick it
off with the **Hooded Jacket** (£159.99) which, from a technical stand point
hasn't altered from the version we tested a couple of years ago. The ...
