When to order new wheels/rims

buffdude · 01-01-2020, 11:31 AM

Hi guys,

I am still running on OEM wheels at 75K miles

I am ordering some new Michelin - Pilot Sport tires, and it got me thinking if I should change the wheels aswell

Is there any reason to change wheels if they are still in good condition?

There are three main reasons people upgrade their wheels:
#1- looks
#2- performance (lighter wheels handle better, wider wheels can hold more tire)
#3- existing wheels are damaged or are ready to be replaced.

So if #3 is not a problem, the only reason to change wheels would be one of the first two options.
