Last edited by GTO : 9th October at Reason: Moving up to post no 2 :. For example, when I first upgraded the wheels of my WagonR to alloy wheels, I did not have any idea. My car's stock section tyres were good and I just mounted the tyres on the wheels. The tyre had a round and bulbous side profile. The reason for this was, the width of the tyre was lesser than the minimum recommended value for the alloy wheel's width.
This later led to side wall tear and I finally upgraded the tyre to section to match the 5" width of the alloy wheel. Considering the weight of the car, I did not want to risk a bent alloy and hence just upsized the tyres with the same stock alloy wheels. However, the evo wheels had bent in the rear and started to leak air. I had to change to another set of wheels from momo, the revenge concave 16". The revenge wheels were of 7" width, a 0. This again caused a slight bulbous profile in the tyre but, I waited till end of the tyre life and thank god, no issues were created this time.
I wish I had this detailed information 8 years back. This could be a bible for anyone trying to upsize or upgrade to alloy wheels. Thank you for sharing. Originally Posted by NTO.

Nice thread! One of the important factors to consider when selecting alloys is the manufacturing process. Cast- generally available, low cost, low strength, heavier than other. Rotary Forged- higher strength, higher cost, lighter than cast.
Fully Forged- very expensive and highest strength, used for track events etc. Originally Posted by ash Originally Posted by hellsangelzooms. Originally Posted by ais. Just wow.

There are shops dedicated in selling them and Every other wheel shop also sell them along with branded wheels.
People go for them only because of the looks as they replicate wheels which would otherwise cost them in lakhs. No one cares for safety unless something bad happens to them.

Pitch circle diameter basically refers to the diameter of the centre a set of studs, into which a new wheel will need to be attached.
Most cars feature a pitch circle diameter of 4 x , which needs to be measured in millimetres to the most exact figure possible. Some PCDs can extend up to millimetres in diameter for larger cars, as well as adapting to use 5 studs rather than 4.
It should be seen as denoting the diameter distance of the studs from the centre point of a wheel, with information provided by the manufacturer for the exact dimensions. Actually measuring PCD is relatively simple. You need to measure between the centres of opposite studs, which will typically produce a figure such as mm.
While most PCDs will follow this rule, it is usually worth measuring for an exact figure. Deviations can result in ill fitting wheels, which will cost you significant amounts of time and money to adjust for.
