Chevrolet HHR & the OE Wheels that come with it (:
A lot of people don’t know what HHR stands for, so let me tell you. HHR stands for “Heritage High Roof”. It’s specifically designed after the 1949 Chevy Suburban; that specific vehicle had large & square fender flares with a hemispherical grille. A man named Bryan Nesbitt is the one who deserves all the credit […]

Motorcycle wheels really are no different from your typical OE 2005 Mercury Mountaineer rims that come on the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer… obviously. They are usually made with steel spokes & an aluminum hub. Sometimes they even have like a magnesium-type cast material or a machined finish. At one point in time, motorcycles had wheels with spokes that […]

Read More »Factory Steel Wheels on Trains?
Whenever I go to San Diego, I always take the train; & I always wonder why they use steel wheels instead of the regular alloy rims & tires. When I did my “research”, I discovered that they used steel wheels to lessen rolling friction. Say you’re driving on the freeway, only 25% of the engine’s […]

Let’s start off with something cool: if you put an in-wheel motor behind all four of your OEM 2005 Range Rover wheels, you’ll have more than 600 horsepower. They can gain their own energy while they brake, too. I told you it was cool. One main question that people have is, “Is there enough torque […]

The reason why I like these cars so much is because I liked the way they looked from 1955-1964… so about ten years. I think it’s because they’re so classic-looking & will look good on the road any day of the week (: Wouldn’t you agree? Anyway, as you probably know, there are many generations […]

Read More »BMW 1 Series & Its Wheels (:
The BMW 1 Series is actually a compact car AND a family car designed by German maker BMW (obviously). If you didn’t know, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke… which in English, translates to Bavarian Motor Works; but you knew that already, right? The 1 Series was launched in the Fall season of 2004 & […]
Read More »Valve Stems on your Factory Wheels
Do you know what valve stems are? I didn’t either until I researched it on the Internet. The definition that I’d give you would be: a device that allows air in to inflate something, but neglects to let any air out from your tires on your 2005 GMC Yukon rims. Easy, right? Well, that’s basically all […]
