Mag wheels are a performance upgrade that goes hand in hand with a change in tyre size. Lightweight alloy wheels can give your car faster acceleration and more responsive steering compared with factrory-fitted steel wheels. For cars that could be a racing or tough street look.
Browse the range of alloy rims below, then call your nearest Tyres & More store. They can help you with size and offset fitment for your vehicle. Ask them about tyre and wheel packages.

Many new base model vehicles come with factory-fitted steel wheels because they’re cheap to make. Premium models typically have factory fitted alloy wheels.
There are different types of steel wheels, but alloy wheels offer the largest selection of styles. Wheels can give cars a racy, stylish or tough look depending on the wheel choice.
Mag wheels are lighter than steel wheels giving vehicles multiple performance benefits. Lighter alloy wheels reduce the car’s "unsprung weight". Racing car engineers go to great lengths to reduce the unsprung weight of the tyres, wheels and brakes.
Reduced unsprung weight improves handling, acceleration, braking and fuel economy.
What are mag wheels made from?
Today alloy wheels are made from cast or forged aluminum, however they used to be made from magnesium, which is where the word “mag” comes from.
What styles do mag wheels come in?
The main design elements that determine the look of wheels are:
- Spoke design. The number of spokes along with their width and shape.
- Colour. Wheels are normally powder coated or enamel painted in white, black, silver or gold. But they can also be polished alloy, a combination of paint and machined metal. They can even have coloured highlights.
- Dish. Depending on the wheel offset and type of car you have, deep dish wheels and wide tyres can be a desired look. It often involves increasing the track of a vehicle and sometimes adding flared wheel arches.
How do I ensure mag wheels will fit?
Ensure the tyre and wheel combination are similar to the diameter of the factory-fitted wheels & tyres. You can go up in wheel diameter as long as you come down in the tyre profile.
Ensure that the wheels you buy match the stud pattern of the wheel hubs. You need to know the number of studs and the distance they are from the centre of the wheel. This is called the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD). Sometimes wheels are available as blanks. They have no stud pattern pre-drilled. That means you can have them drilled to an uncommon stud pattern if that's what your vehicle has.
Finally, the most tricky thing to determine is the wheel offset. This is how much the wheels will move in towards the body or out towards the fenders. It’s best to get the wheel manufacturer to confirm the fitment of their wheels to the make, model and year of your car. Tyres & More stores can help with this, and can consult the wheel suppliers they use.
