Everyone must change their tires, but few people consider changing their wheels unless they are concerned about their car's looks. These days there is another reason to change your wheels. Lightweight alloy wheels are considered superior to heavier steel wheels. This can affect the ride quality, the handling, the performance, and the fuel economy of your vehicle. This is an investment that can really pay off. Find out more at Prestige Toyota Service, home of quality car repair Kingston NY. 
Alloy Wheels
Alloy wheels reduce the unsprung weight of a vehicle. It is this weight that causes some of the wear-and-tire on your tires. By reducing that weight, tires will better withstand cornering forces, bad bumps, and other road shocks. Alloy wheels also release heat better than their steel counterparts. This improves braking. Heat is conducted into and out of the aluminum alloy, cooling the brakes. This reduces brake fade on twisty roads. For more information about alloy wheels, give us a call at 845-750-6941. We're open Saturdays for your convenience.
Size
You can exchange your wheels for exactly the same size. However, many people choose to improve their performance by increasing the size. If you like to enjoy every possible advantage when it comes to acceleration, these larger wheels will add to your performance and handling prowess. In some cases, you can change the look of your car simply by upgrading your wheels.
