Fast Wheels

Why choose Fast alloy wheels?

We know a new set of alloy wheels will make your ride look amazing. But there’s a lot more to them than just looks. In fact, the whole reason “mags” started showing up on high-performance sports cars and hotrods more than 60 years ago was for go, not show. After World War II, much of the technology perfected in high performance military aircraft started trickling down into the automotive world and a big one was aluminum or magnesium (thus the common term “mag”) wheels.

It turned out that magnesium was fine for racing or other short term use, but it proved to be too brittle and crack-prone for street use so aluminum eventually became the metal of choice. The reason we refer to them as aluminum alloy wheels is because they are in fact made up of a mixture or “alloy” of different substances. The typical mix is 94% aluminum, 4% silica and about 2% miscellaneous other elements. Pound-for-pound, this alloy offers better strength than steel, and therefore an aluminum wheel can be made to handle the same loads but weigh 20% less.

Less rotational mass means less inertia to overcome to get your wheel turning. Because of this, reducing the weight of your wheels will typically give you 3 times the performance improvement of removing the same amount of “static” weight from some other part of the vehicle! The result is better acceleration, braking and fuel economy. Not only that, a lighter set of wheels will also improve handling. The reduced weight on the “unsprung” side means the suspension system can react faster and more efficiently to bumps and imperfections, keeping your tires more consistently in touch with the road surface.

Keep in mind that the right set of alloys will not only get you more show, they mean less gas, more stop, more turn and more go!

Benefits

• Optimized fuel economy
• Weight reduction: 20% less than a conventional steel wheel
• Improved acceleration and braking
• Improved handling due to less deflection while cornering
• Only high-quality alloy used
• A better-looking car
• All wheels are tested to exceed JWL, VIA and SAE standards for radial fatigue, impact resistance, bending resistance, air leaking and more
• CASS (salt spray) corrosion tested
• Winter alloy wheels have a more durable finish due to their superior resistance to the elements like extreme cold and road salt than summer wheels.
