Everyone will encounter more or less questions about cars. Recently, the editor was asked by netizens: What is the difference between 18 inch wheels and 19 inch wheels? I believe many people don’t know about this question, so I will simply give you the following Let’s talk about it, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
The difference between 18-inch wheels and 19-inch wheels is mainly reflected in the size, manufacturing cost, price, driving comfort and fuel consumption, as detailed below:
- The size of the external dimensions refers to inches, and 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm. 18 inch refers to the diameter of the hub circle is 45.72 cm, slightly smaller than the 19 inch alloy wheels.
- Manufacturing cost Because of the different components of materials, the manufacturing cost of 19 inch wheels is much higher than that of 18 inch alloy wheels.
- Price Generally speaking, the larger the size, the higher the price of the same type wheel hub.
- Driving comfort The larger the wheel hub and the thinner the tire wall, the more realistic the road surface feedback will be when the car is driving. Owners and friends who pay attention to handling and appearance can choose 19 inch wheels. The tires with small wheels and thick sidewalls can effectively filter road vibrations, and 18 inch wheels are better in terms of comfort.
- Fuel consumption The larger the wheel hub and the wider the tread, the greater the friction with the ground, so the higher the fuel consumption. The same car with 19 inch wheels will consume more fuel than 18 inch wheels.
The editor believes that if the original 18 inch wheels are not recommended for family cars, it is not recommended to replace them with 19-inch alloy wheels. If your car has steel wheels or iron wheels, you can replace them with aluminum alloy wheels of the same size.
