If you’re an urban street ride tuner, you can take your ride to new heights with TIS Chrome Wheels, and that’s no joke. The wheels and rims offered by TIS make a statement right out of the box. And they seem to be the first to proudly display their wheel size right on the center of the wheel or rim’s hub. This way, everybody’ll know what you’re rolling with. So, if you’re looking to increase your ride’s street cred, TIS wheels and TIS rims may be the way to go.

Be brave and go big. If you’re afraid of anything bigger than a 16 inch wheel for a car, then TIS rims probably aren’t for you. TIS begins with the now-classic 20 inch “dubs” and grows up from there, right on down the road to 26 inch wheel heaven, many of which you can see on an urban-tuned SUV of today.

Move on, roll on. If you’re looking for major differences between wheels and rims, well.there really isn’t much, except for purely engineering-type details. But, in the urban tuner world you don’t usually refer to the car’s rollers as anything but “rims.” And if you’re overheard calling your dubs “wheels,” you may as well cancel your street tuner club membership, because you’ll be laughed out of it if you don’t.

You get out what you put in. Steel was the metal of choice in Custom Wheels for years and years. It was pretty long-lasting and durable and it didn’t tend to rust out in a couple of years, which made it ideal for a car’s road-wear. Steel could be heavy, though, and that extra weight added up on a car. But, the metal made for a good middle-of-the-road material for a wheel.

Put on your Sunday best. Nowadays, if a rim maker isn’t using aluminum or some other metal alloy, it’s not really a serious player in the aftermarket tuner world. Aluminum has come to dominate because it’s not only lighter, but the color and finishes available when using an alloy are far more varied than what can be done in steel. In fact, steel is mainly the material of choice on entry-level, budget-minded production vehicles and such.

Rust won’t keep us together. Bolting on a new set of rims is a snap. Most the time, the four or five bolts that come with them go right onto the hub and that’s about it. Really big wheels or rims may require a few more than five, though TIS wheels start out with four or five of them.

Don’t compromise on looks. TIS wheels and TIS rims never compromise on looks or performance and durability. They say something about your ride almost from the minute you bolt them on. This is due in large part to all those styles and colors in the wheels in their lineup. Even a 1965 AMC Rambler can look a bit better-looking with the addition of a set of these wheels or rims. And it might just fool a few people into thinking it’s been customized a little.

Putting some air into it. TIS Wheels are purpose-built with the urban street ride tuner in mind, so it’s not difficult at all to take your ride to new heights with TIS rims or TIS wheels. For more information, check out our site http://www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com/.
