Travel Anywhere with Top-Quality Wheels

Most brand new cars include five wheels upon purchase. Their front and rear sides both have two tires, with a spare that you can use should you fall victim to a flat tire. The extra tire can either be found on the tailgate or under or inside the trunk.

Different wheels are formed by different manufacturing methods. They can be casted or forged, for instance, which require only one to three components, such as steel and alloy. In general, steel sets tend to be more durable, while alloy sets are more lightweight.

You may opt for chrome sets for your vehicle, as well. These types of tires feature a chrome finish, giving a set of tires a shiny, striking look. Keep in mind, however, that these chrome sets are only ideal for use in environments with little to no rain or snow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford Wheels

How long do tires last on a car?

Standard tires on most regular production cars can last 60,000 to 75,000 miles or about four to five years. Road conditions, driving habits, exposure to the elements, and other factors can make your tires deteriorate faster. Tire pressure also plays a major role in the natural wear and tear of your wheels.

How often should car tires be replaced?

If your car tires haven't been replaced after ten years of their manufacturing date, you should change them out and get a new set of wheels for your ride that follow industry and road standards. Ideally, you should replace them every six years or when they start to lose their treads. Make sure that your tires have enough grip, whether they’re for daily driving or traversing off-road terrain.

What is a wheel lock on a car?

Wheel locks are specialized lug nuts for preventing wheel theft. These components feature a special wheel lock key that are specifically made for removing these protective lug nuts. These lock the rims, tires, and wheels together to keep them from being stolen. They also don’t affect tire balance, so you won’t have to worry about how your car handles after putting wheel locks on your tires.

Are wheel locks universal?

Wheel locks are not universal. Manufacturers use different wheel locks for specific rims and tires, and are not interchangeable with other models. Hence, if you want to shop for a new set of wheel locks, you should consider both the make and model of your car, as well as the current wheels on it.

How to install wheel locks?

You should first remove the hubcaps and lug nuts of your wheels using a tire iron. You can then install your new locking lug nuts on your wheels. Make sure to use its designated lock key to tighten the nuts. Also ensure that the nuts have the correct torque for a secure fit.
