Wheel width and tire matching

As we all know, wheel hubs come in a variety of diameters, ranging from as small as 14 inches to over 24 inches. However, wheel hubs also have different widths. The width of the wheel hub not only affects its installation on the vehicle, but also affects the installation of the tire on the hub. Below is a detailed explanation. Wheel Hub Size: The size of a wheel hub is defined as "diameter x width". Therefore, a 17-inch wheel hub could be 17x7.0, 17x7.5, or 17x8.0. The width of the wheel hub usually increases proportionally with its diameter, so you rarely see 17x5.0 or 17x10 hubs. Standard sizes are 14x...

Wheel hub made of: Polished

Currently, hub polishing has three different types: traditional polishing, fine turning, and wire drawing. All are based on the technology of polishing the hub to reveal a high-gloss, original metallic color. However, their methods, effects, necessary protection methods, and maintenance methods are vastly different. Among a range of exquisitely crafted, durable, or easily maintained finishes, polishing breaks down the inherent barriers of painting and plating, combining the two, especially after the advent of clear coats. Polishing makes the hubs even more refined. Traditional polishing, also known as ball polishing, usually uses a series of materials of varying softness to polish the hub until its surface shows a deep metallic luster. Older polished wheels are generally not coated with clear paint. This...

Wheel hub made of: electroplating

Many car manufacturers offer chrome-plated wheel rims as an option, and most aftermarket wheels 20 inches or larger are also chrome-plated. Chrome plating is an aesthetically pleasing finish, but it is also fragile and easily damaged, and repairs are expensive. Chrome-plated wheel rims are usually polished and etched before being plated with nickel, copper, and chromium in sequence. The layers are bonded together to increase strength, and this completes the chrome plating process. Because no clear coat is needed, they usually require careful cleaning with soap and water, followed by buffing with a cotton cloth soaked in metal polish. The chrome plating process seems to impart a certain brittleness to the aluminum wheels, making most chrome-plated wheels prone to breakage in collisions, which...

Alloy wheels VS steel wheels: Beauty and the Beast

Alloy wheels or steel wheels, which one suits you best? For different vehicle models, alloy wheels and steel wheels each have their own advantages and disadvantages. In general, if you pursue aesthetics and performance, alloy wheels are the best choice. If you pursue high strength, high load, and low price, then steel wheels are the only choice. Because of their advantages in appearance and performance, alloy wheels have become the standard option for most cars. Unlike steel wheels, aluminum alloys can be cast into a variety of different styles, providing cars with more personalized appearances and offering car owners more customization options. Aluminum-nickel alloy wheels are lighter than steel wheels, so they can improve the vehicle's

Policy and demand are the guiding factors: 5 major development trends of semi-trailers

As the main force of domestic freight transportation, semi-trailers are the most familiar vehicle type for truck drivers. The future development trend of semi-trailers directly affects the efficiency of highway transportation. What are the future development trends of semi-trailers? Trend 1: Lightweight, more cargo loading With the national efforts to control vehicle overload, long-distance semi-trailers are currently mainly engaged in standard-load transportation. Under the premise that the total limit remains unchanged, how to reduce the vehicle's own weight has become a major concern. The lightweight of semi-trailers has once again attracted attention. In order to reduce the weight of semi-trailers, manufacturers have tried various methods, such as many trailer manufacturers using lighter materials

Truck lightweighting

The China Green Freight Initiative (CGFI) advocates for green management, green technology, and green driving, namely the "three greens" concept. Among them, the green technology aspect of the initiative strongly promotes reducing fuel consumption by lowering the curb weight of trucks, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency. This is the subject of this article: truck lightweighting. I. The Importance of Promoting Truck Lightweighting The size of a vehicle's own weight is one of the important factors affecting fuel consumption, so vehicle lightweighting design has become a development trend. For the freight and logistics industry, reducing fuel consumption has become the key to energy conservation and emission reduction. Achieving truck lightweighting, reducing fuel consumption, and increasing
