Alloy Wheels: Guides by Make & Model
Sizing and fitment differ enough between cars that a generic wheel guide isn't much use — find your specific model below.
Getting the Fit Right Matters More Than It Looks
Bolt pattern, offset and hub bore all need to match your exact vehicle, not just "look about right." Pick your make and model below for the specifics.
Common Damage to Look For
Alloy wheels don't fail mechanically the way a hydraulic part does, but they do pick up damage that affects both looks and safety. Kerb damage — scuffed or gouged rims from tight parking — is usually cosmetic but can affect tyre seal in bad cases. Cracks, most common on lower-profile tyres hitting potholes hard, mean a wheel should be replaced rather than refurbished. Corrosion around the rim edge is common on older or poorly maintained wheels and can cause slow air loss over time. Buckling — a bent rather than cracked wheel — often shows up as vibration through the steering at speed.
Refurbish or Replace?
Cosmetic kerb damage and corrosion are usually worth refurbishing — it's considerably cheaper than a full replacement and a specialist can make scuffed alloys look new again. Cracks and buckling are a different matter: these affect structural integrity, and a refurbished wheel with a hidden crack is a genuine safety risk. When in doubt, have a wheel specialist inspect it before spending money either way.
