So, are you looking for some rims? Thinking about buying them from a salvage yard like All American Auto Salvage? What should you keep in mind?
Size
First, look at your vehicle’s manual. You can find out the correct size of OEM rims the manufacturer recommends. You want to make sure the rims you get meet the manufacturer’s specs so you don’t get vibrations or instability while driving, right?
Corrosion
When looking at rims, look for any cracks or corrosion. Also look for bent lips. If the damage is minimal and can be restored easily and cheaply, then get them. If not, avoid them.
Proper Bolt Pattern
Next, look at the arrangement of lug holes on your current rim. You want to make sure the used rims you buy match the “bolt pattern” on your current vehicle, so they’ll fit without any trouble.
No Wobbles
If allowed, roll the rim on a flat surface and see if it wobbles– if it does, avoid it; You want rims that roll smoothly.
Tarnishing
Finally, look for any discoloration. If there is any, that means the wheel’s clear coat was compromised, letting moisture, dirt, and road salt “in” to cause corrosion. However, if the color(s) look new, that’s great– that means the rims are well-protected.
