I know this might sound crazy, but what are alloy wheels and what are the benefits? Thanks so much!

Anyone?
 
PS -- Alloy wheels means no scratchy hubcaps for one!

All I could say was alloy wheels simply meant that they designed the weel so that hubcaps won't fit it, and they're supposedly lighter than the steel wheels that DO take hubcaps and supposedly give you better gas mileage with them.
 
Feel free to correct me if that's screwed up! LOL

do alloy wheels help performance? Thet do look better than hubcaps!! Any recommendations for aftermarket? While I like the GY Integrity tires, I'd like to make a switch before Winter...

Tire monitoring system... false security.... by ppcdc30

I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla S with the ABS - tire monitoring system options. I recently had a flat on the expressway on my rear tire doing 70 mph. The only thing that lead me to believe I had an issue was a loud roaring noise like a wheel bearing was going out. I checked the dash for a light and there was none. When I pulled onto the side of the expressway I noticed that it was flat. I changed the tire, still no light with the temp spare. I took the car to the dealer and they checked it out and the system was OK. The said it detectes it using the ABS system not air pressure. So this system is a false sense of security and a $100 lesson due to the buying of a new tire.

Is tire monitoring necessary? by irismg

I don't want anyone taking this the wrong way if they truly need it, but I'm curious as to what's wrong with just walking around the car in the morning before you drive off to see whether your tires are low on air? I keep a tire gauge in the door at all times, so I'm curious. Is technology really doing us a favor, or is it just trying to take the place of common sense? Thanks
