Cars Q&A

Firstly, Alloy wheels are very expensive. Apart from that, in India, you won't get the proper tools with local mechanics in case your car gets punctured, which could damage the wheels. Moreover, the fuel efficiency of your car would also reduce marginally. Since its an indica, you don't have to worry about fuel much.

No doubts that alloy wheels would look stylish but only take care while mending punctures.

Hi Parsa,

The Alloys available in India, whether Indian or Imported, are meant only for enhancing the looks of your car and nothing much.
Though apart from enhancing the looks, Alloys are actually meant to be lighter in weight than conventional steel wheels, which further helps in improving the ride & handling characteristics, as well as performance of a vehicle. But, sadly in India, Alloys which are priced between 12-20k for a set of 4 (14") are actually heavier or similar in weight to the original steel wheels, and it actually (slightly)penalizes the steering & suspension of the car depending on the brand and weight of the wheels you buy.

But dont be worried with this technical information, go ahead and get your car a good set of alloys. They totally transform the looks of a car, and turn it into a wolf from a sheep.
