Find the alloy wheel that fits your vehicle

The bolt circle is usually stated in the vehicle documents (field 15) or can be measured: For an even number of bolt holes (4, 6), measure from the center of one hole to the center of the opposite hole. For 5 holes, measure from the center of one hole to the outer edge of the hole after the next. If you are unsure, tell us your vehicle and we will check it for you.

The offset (ET) indicates how far the mounting surface of the rim is offset in relation to the center of the rim. A low ET value means that the rim protrudes further outwards. The bolt circle defines the diameter of an imaginary circle that runs through the centers of the wheel bolt holes and determines which rims fit onto the wheel hub.

No, not every rim fits every vehicle. Compatibility depends on factors such as bolt pattern, offset (ET), rim width, and diameter. It is important to know your vehicle's specific requirements.

The most important dimensions for the correct rim size are the rim diameter and the rim width. The rim diameter is given in inches. It corresponds to the inner diameter of the tire. The rim width is also known as the bead seat width and corresponds to the distance between the rim flanges.

Pay attention to four things: The rim must be approved for your vehicle model. The bolt circle, size, width, and offset must match. The load capacity must at least correspond to the permissible axle load. And a parts certificate or ABE must be available. Otherwise, the rim is not permissible on German roads.

Larger wheels can be installed, but it's important to consider the rolling circumference to avoid affecting the speedometer reading. Additionally, there must be enough clearance in the wheel arch to ensure proper fitment and sufficient suspension travel.

In Germany, rims require a component certificate (Teilegutachten) or a General Type Approval (Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis - ABE). For rims with a component certificate, an inspection at a testing center is necessary after installation, followed by an entry in the vehicle's registration documents. For rims with an ABE, it is sufficient to carry the documentation with you. The required documents for each rim are listed on the respective product page.

The permissible wheel load can be found in the wheel's parts certificate; the permissible axle load of your vehicle can be found in the vehicle documents (fields 8.1 and 8.2). The wheel load must be at least half of the axle load. For heavy vehicles, motorhomes, and pickups with an increased load capacity, this is the most common reason why a visually suitable rim is nevertheless not permissible.

Centering rings are small, ring-shaped components that are inserted into wheels. They are used to center the wheel on the vehicle's wheel hub. Centering rings are available in various sizes to accommodate different wheel hub diameters.

Yes, in most cases, hub-centric rings are necessary when mounting rims on your car. They serve to ensure that the rims are correctly centered on the vehicle's wheel hub. This prevents vibrations, imbalances, and potential damage to the wheels and suspension.

To determine the correct size for hub centric rings, you need to measure the diameter of your vehicle's wheel hub. This can be done with a caliper or a ruler. Make sure you determine the exact size, as there can be different diameters depending on your vehicle model and manufacturer.

Off-road rims are specially designed for off-road use. They are characterized by a more robust construction, higher load capacities, and wider rim widths. Compared to normal road rims, off-road rims are more resistant to impacts, potholes, and stone chips. Brands like RID Wheels and DIRT A.T Wheels offer off-road rims in sizes from 17 to 22 inches, suitable for both off-road and on-road use.

Most pickups such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max, and Mitsubishi L200 use a 6x139.7 bolt pattern. Suitable off-road rims are available in 17, 18, and 20 inches. The Dodge Ram often uses a 5x139.7 bolt pattern. Also, pay attention to the correct offset (ET) and hub diameter. Our suitable centering rings will help ensure vibration-free installation.

Both materials have their advantages: Steel rims are cheaper, extremely robust and easier to repair if damaged, making them ideal for rough terrain. Alloy rims are lighter, offer better heat dissipation and have a more premium look. For mixed use (road and light off-road), we recommend alloy off-road rims like the RID or DIRT series. For extreme off-road use, steel rims may be the better choice.

The ideal size depends on the intended use: 17-inch rims offer more sidewall and thus better protection and comfort off-road. 18-inch rims are the most popular compromise between off-road capability and street looks. 20 and 22-inch rims make a visual statement, but are more suitable for light off-road use and street driving. For regular off-road driving, we recommend 17 or 18 inches.

Yes, off-road rims can be combined with both all-terrain (AT) tires and highway-terrain (HT) tires or standard road tires. The choice depends on the intended use: AT tires offer a good compromise between road and off-road, while mud-terrain (MT) tires are designed for extreme off-road conditions. Make sure the tire size matches the rim width and that the combination is approved for your vehicle.
