Why should I choose Alloy Wheels for My New VW Golf ?

Aluminium alloy wheels are generally stronger and lighter than standard steel wheels. With less load for the car’s suspension to deal with and less weight for you to steer, handling is easier. You’ll also find better fuel economy and faster acceleration as there is less mass to shift.

Better cornering comes from the reduced chance of buckling from the stronger VW Golf alloy wheel. However, a steel wheel will still fare better when it comes to trauma such as hitting a pothole.

Of course, another great reason for kitting out your new VW Golf with alloy wheels has got to be great looks! Alloy wheels look good for longer. They resist rust and polish up better than any hubcaps, making your car more saleable in the future, although they won’t always add much to the asking price.

Which Alloy Wheels Will Fit My New Volkswagen Golf?

There’s a surprisingly large number of choices when it comes to VW Golf alloy wheels. All specifications, except the Life, come with a standard set of alloy wheels but if you want to express your own style and impress your friends, it’s easy to upgrade to one of the many options that’ll help you and your new car to stand out from the crowd.

With the largest alloys and lowest profile tyres, you might have to compromise looks for comfort as shallower tyres mean less ‘padding’ over uneven roads and potholes. Because they have increased resistance, using larger than standard wheels may result in lower MPG, higher CO2 emissions and a higher car tax, and therefore an increase in the ‘on the road’ price.
