Rims of luxury cars and sports cars

By Ryan

Rim is the connection point between the tyre and the chassis of the car. Rubber Tyre is bolted to a rim of the wheel. Wheel rims also have aerodynamic importance. Cool air passes from the brakes through the rim openings from the inside of the wheel to the outside. When the cross section of rims is made smaller, the brake cooling takes place faster. The governing body of motor sport worldwide and the representative of 60 million road and track users, Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has recommended carbon fiber fairings on the outside of the wheels to increase cooling and control the airflow in the wake of tyres.

Competitive aerodynamic performance of Formula One car relies heavily on the downstream wake of the exposed rotating wheels. Participating teams work and try to develop better rims, which give lesser changing time of tyres at pitstops. International companies which make luxury cars for premium markets also invest heavily into design and development of good and durable wheels. They are made of alloys and with best technology. Audi rims or Chrysler rims are made to sail through all types of terrains. Their wheels are slightly larger than others, which provides more spacing for brakes and gives better grip.
