Mag Wheels

For any car enthusiast there is simply nothing worse than plain wheels on your car. Conversely, there is nothing better than a great set of sparkling mag wheels to make your car look like a million dollars. Whether your car is old or new there will be a great set of mag wheels to suit.

Alloy Wheels

What are alloy wheels and how are they different from mag wheels? Actually, there is no difference. Mag wheels is just a short name for magnesium wheels and, you guessed it, magnesium is a metal ‘alloy’. Mag wheels, alloy wheels, alloy mag wheels, they are all the same thing.

Mag Wheel Brands

There are many companies that produce ‘after market wheels’, that is, wheels that are not made by the company that produced the car. As with many car related accessories many enthusiasts have their favourite brands. Bose, Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, Sony and JVC are all well known ‘after market car audio’ manufacturers. In the same way, there are a number of well known car mag wheel manufacturers: Simmons wheels, ROH wheels, CSA wheels, BBS wheels, BBS rims, Advanti wheels, DTM wheels and Equus wheels are some of the names to look out for.

Selecting Your Mag Wheels

The main driver for picking a new set of mag wheels (excuse the pun) is clearly the design of the wheel. 3 spoke, 5 spoke, 12 spoke, sharp, curly, round, smooth, thin, thick… there are so many designs to choose from and it’s purely subjective as to what you think goes best with your particular car. Here are a few things to think about:

- If you car is an older model you probably want something from that era. Mag wheels have been popular since the ’60s, probably earlier, and there are many designs from that period that are now considered classic. (The same thing applies for cars from the ’80s and ’90s).
- Do you want alloys that jump out and attract attention or are a bit more subtle? What is the rest of the car like? If it’s done up to the hilt with air intakes, spoilers and other after market body accessories, a wild set of alloy wheels would not be out of place. But if the car has been restored to original factory condition you might want wheels that are a bit low key.
- What sort of driving do you want to do? Mag wheels became popular because they are lighter than the old steel factory wheels and therefore provide better handling and a better weight to power ratio. If these things are really important to you go for a set of mags that are light and aerodynamic. If not, just stick with what you think looks good.
- What size rims can you car handle without requiring modification of the wheel arches? Wide mags can look great but just make sure you’re not going to create more costs and work for yourself.
- Finally, think about the security and physical protection of the wheels. Do you park your car on the street or in the open? Do the wheels come with good security? Does the design lend itself to banging into gutters?

Cleaning Alloy Wheels

A good looking set of mag wheels will lift the look of the whole car, but only when they are clean. Once they get dirty they will tend to bring the rest of the car down with them. Alloy wheels can be corroded by long term contact with road oils, and they can be scratched by brake dirt and grit from the road. So the best way of keeping your wheels in good condition is to simply wash them regularly. Even more than the car if you happen to be a sporadic car washer. Make sure you use a brush or some way of getting into the creases of the wheel.

If you do end up with stains or deeply embedded dirt you can try a wheel cleaning solvent from an auto shop. Before you do that try rubbing lemon, lime or orange onto the wheel and see if the citric acid makes a difference. Don’t leave the juice on the wheel for too long. A few minutes should be enough. Wash and rinse the wheel well after doing this.

Lastly, you can take the wheels to specialist renovators who can remove most major scratches and stains to make the wheels look as good as new in most instances.
