How can I identify my rims?
The serial number for your wheels can be found inside the rim (under your rim tape). The serial is the seven digit number that typically starts with a “1” or “2”. Fun fact, usually the first 2 digits are the year in which it was manufactured.
How do you know if the rims are original?
How To Tell If Your Used Car Has OEM or Aftermarket Wheels:
- Visual Inspection – Find pictures of your car online and compare the wheels.
- Look for serial numbers and other identifying marks on the inside of the wheel.
- If you see “made in China”, don’t be alarmed.
- Compare the age of the car to the condition of the wheels.
Are all rims the same?
Wheel diameters can vary, but they typically range from 13″-24″ (or higher for specialized low profile fitments). Only wheels and tires of the same diameter can be safely mounted together, meaning you can only mount a 16″ tire on a 16″ wheel.
Do rims expire?
You can expect a standard set of rims to last you approximately 10 years. However, they can wear out sooner due to excess damage from impacts or scraping, underinflated tires, and corrosion. When they wear out, you’ll experience excess vibrations in the steering wheel, wheel alignment issues, and other problems.
Can all rims fit on any car?
Be Wary About Putting Wheels from Other Vehicles on Your Car
