13-inch steel rims

Steel rims in 13 inch

13 inch steel rims are a popular choice for smaller vehicles travelling both in the city and in the countryside. They offer a cost-effective and robust option for drivers who prioritise reliability and durability. Common bolt circles for 13 inch steel rims include 4x98, 4x100 and 4x108. A bolt circle of 4x98 means that the rim has four mounting holes evenly distributed on a circle with a diameter of 98 millimetres. The situation is similar with the 4x100 and 4x108 bolt circles, where the diameter of the mounting circles is 100 and 108 millimetres respectively.

Steel rims differ from aluminium rims in several important ways. Steel rims are generally heavier, but also more robust and more resistant to impacts and kerbs. They are less susceptible to damage and can often be easily repaired, making them ideal for winter conditions and rough roads. Aluminium rims, on the other hand, are lighter and offer better driving characteristics due to a lower unsprung mass, which improves the performance and efficiency of the vehicle. They are also often more aesthetically pleasing and are available in a variety of designs and finishes.

In summary, 13 inch steel wheels offer a cost-effective, durable and reliable solution for smaller vehicles, particularly those with 4x98, 4x100 or 4x108 bolt circles. While they can be heavier and less visually appealing than alloy wheels, they offer a robust and easy to maintain option for everyday use.
