If you are the owner of the car, then you certainly want to make it stand out among the huge crowd. Currently, there are many ways to give the car a unique look. One of those ways is to set the drives on your battle horse.


Fortunately at this moment the market of automobile drives today a wide range of products that can be divided into three groups:
1. Stamped discs
2. Alloy wheels
3. Forged disks


Each disc has a number of their own strengths and weaknesses, knowing that you will be easier to make an optimal choice of disks for your car.

Stamped steel motor drives:
Advantages: low price, plasticity.
Disadvantages: weight

Stamped on the motor drives the price different from the molten aluminum in two or even three times, and this is a serious argument in favor of the acquisition is pressed discs. Especially in winter, when the dynamic ability of the car does not play a big role. Greater weight is affected by the disc on the dynamics of the car, which starts to accelerate worse and worse brakes. In addition, heavy discs increase unsprung weight, which again adversely affects the work of the suspension and comfort at all. This stamped steel motor drives have the possibility of folding when the strike might cause deformation of the suspension or the body (when run over something, when released into the pit, etc.), thus preventing the car.

Cast aluminum discs:
Advantages: low weight, a variety of designs
Disadvantages: small plastic

Wheel motor drives aluminum alloy weighed almost 20% less than the steel disks, and the proposed diversity design allows manufacturers to select the disk that you think best matches the appearance of your vehicle. For instance, cast 14 "disc weighs about 6.5 kg, and steel for more than 1-2 kg. Cast aluminum disks are produced by technology, which does not use high pressure. It should be noted that the use of cast discs are far more efficient than the cooling of the brakes occurs, which is achieved through the large vents. But the disks are not plastic and does not bend, but with bumps can give a crack. Today, light alloy wheels are the best choice based on price and quality, and are available in a huge assortment.

Forged aluminum discs:
Advantages: very light, very plastic
Disadvantages: high cost

Forged aluminum alloy disks are produced by a complex technology with the use of semi-stamping. This process is quite complex and, therefore, fraught with some difficulties in expanding its product range, so forged aluminum discs are basically simple design. Their big plus is the ease - this type of disc weighs about 5.4 kg, which is 30% -50% lighter than stamped steel discs and nearly 20% lighter cast aluminum. This lightweight disc improves ride comfort and ensures the safety of driving through improved drivability, the braking characteristics, etc. Lightweight discs allow even save on fuel consumption. The wall thickness of the forged discs of up to 3 mm, while wall thickness of cast disc is no less than 5.5 mm. In addition, the discs are plastic and do not form cracks, which provides high performance properties of the car - the disc may burst, but only at very high impact. Forged aluminum disks rather expensive, and this is perhaps their greatest weakness, if not the only one.
