Alloy Wheel

alloy wheel
An alloy wheel is a non-steel wheel cast, usually in one piece, from a non-corrosive alloy of aluminum or magnesium. Alloy wheels come as standard on some models; on others they are optional at purchase or may be added later to enhance a vehicle’s appearance. Aluminum and chrome are generally used in alloy wheels today. The term “Mag wheels” originally referred to wheels made from an iron-magnesium alloy.
