When selecting winter wheels and tires, whether it's for a BMW or an Accord, the same principles hold true regarding wheel finish. Painted finished are the most durable and any machined surfaces need to be covered in a clear coat for winter driving. Chrome and polished wheels are not recommended.
Sport Edition,
MSW and
Elbrus wheels are all great brands and most of their wheels are going to be perfect for winter use.
The
Sport Edition F7 is a basic, 5-spoke design that's not flashy, but is easy to clean snow out of! And the silver painted finish is able to stand up to snow and road salt.
The
MSW Type 12 features a split, 5-spoke design in a silver painted finish. The split spokes can be a little more difficult to clean snow out of, but if you're not trudging through the deep stuff too often, it looks pretty cool!
The
Elbrus I03 features a multi-spoke design that has machined areas with an ICE coating. The ICE coating is what protects the machined areas during the rough winter months.
And there's plenty more to choose from! See what
fits your vehicle and make your winter driving a little easier!
When it comes to winter driving, there is no substitute for a
winter / snow tire. Winter driving is all about confidence, and while there are a couple of all-season tires out there that will provide superior winter performance, they still emphasize longer wear, a quieter ride or greater performance...not winter traction. Winter tires offer the type of traction in the snow and ice that can sometimes make the difference between a safe trip home and getting stuck in below-freezing conditions.
In addition to winter / snow tires,
we offer a variety of inexpensive, yet stylish, wheels to complement the looks of your vehicle. The majority of these inexpensive wheels are painted silver, gray or black (nothing chrome or polished, folks...those tend to not hold up very wheel to the salt, rocks, and debris that are common occurrence in snow driving) and are a practical alternative to mounting and dismounting tires on the same wheels twice a year. Tire Rack offers a variety of inexpensive alloy wheels from
Sport Edition,
Elbrus,
moda, and
Borbet for virtually any budget.
Is this in your immediate future? You need snow tires and wheels.
If you think about it, dedicated winter wheels make perfect $en$e: some of these inexpensive wheels are between $75-$99 depending on model and size. Typically, mounting and balancing tires will cost between $60 and $120 twice a year. Add it up and it's clear. In a matter of two to three winters, wheels pay for themselves and then some! And that's not even taking into account the time saved having to go to a tire shop twice a year.
So consider buying dedicated winter wheels this season. They're practical, efficient, and in the long run, a terrific investment. Call us or
order online today!

One of our most popular wheels has been the
ASA AR1, available in diameters from 15" to 20" for many vehicles. The AR1 emulates the classic mesh style popular in Europe for Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other vehicles; however, this wheel is for BMW applications only. The wheel will accept Original Equipment center caps to give the wheel a "factory" appearance. Rivets and a machined lip add a modular look as well.
The AR1 is available in
chrome, black and
silver finishes, and is a great wheel to upgrade the appearance of your vehicle!

custom wheels or a Wheel & Tire Package for your vehicle can be both fun and challenging. Custom wheels can express your personality and enhance the look of your ride.
One thing often not considered is the
maintenance and care of your new wheels. Selecting the right wheel finish should not be overlooked given the differing levels of durability and care needed for each.
Regardless of finish, we do not recommend using any cleaner on your wheels that you would not use on your vehicle's paint as many wheel cleaners will ruin your wheel's finish. The following are common wheel finishes with attributes and considerations for each:
- Chrome: Reflective plated finish that is relatively easy to wipe clean, Highly susceptible to road salt damage (not recommended for winter conditions), Prone to peeling or flaking over time.
- Painted: One of the most durable finishes, Acceptable in all conditions, Easy to clean when waxed.
- Polished: Attractive finish, very difficult to maintain, not recommended for winter conditions, generally no finish warranty.
- Machined: Essentially bare alloy, difficult to maintain, susceptible to corrosion not recommended for winter conditions, look for protective finish or coating.
When it comes to our vehicle's appearance, we tend to focus on the outside more than anything. Shiny
aftermarket wheels, crystal clear windshields and chrome that glows for miles. We often forget about the inside in our rush to complete the car wash. Our dashboards get dusty, carpet stains become permanent and the leather seats (if you have them) start to lose their luster. You can't really see the inside anyway, right? Well...talk to the person you drove to lunch yesterday.
You may never be able to successfully recreate that new car smell, but with a little easy scrubbing, you can certainly make the inside of your vehicle shine like new—just like the outside of it.
Tire Rack stocks an extensive collection of car care products for the
inside of your vehicle. Like the
Leather Care Spray Kit at left. And products for the
outside, too. Even special
cleaners for wheels and tires. Stock your garage and it'll be easy to keep up appearances.
Just don't hold us accountable if you're repeatedly asked to drive to lunch. Everyone loves a car that's clean, inside and out!

Once a company whose sole focus was steel wheels,
KMC became popular when they developed a line that happened to catch the attention of an elite list of musicians, actors and X Game athletes. This elite list is featured as the brand's "Famous Rides," and they continue to inspire the style of every one-piece aluminum painted and chrome wheel that KMC creates.
At
Tire Rack, we're always looking for high quality wheels to add to our inventory. And that's why KMC is a perfect fit. Not only do they look tough on the street, they're backed by a lifetime structural guarantee.

Chrome rims certainly do make an impression. They're shiny, and have a reputation for making a stylish statement. We put Avarus AV4 chrome wheels on the Lincoln at right, and they're just one of many chrome options we have at Tire Rack.
