Unsprung Weight is the Weight of Everything That is Connected to Wheel Including Your Terra Grappler G2 Tires

If you recently purchased a brand new car, most likely it came stock with a set of steel wheels. This is often standard in most makes and models as, well, steel wheels are inexpensive. Though many manufacturers offer wheel upgrades, many pass at the time of purchase. If your vehicle is sporting a set of steel wheels, there is good reason to upgrade. Here are a few reasons you should slap a new set of wheels on your ride.

The first positive attribute you will enjoy from your new alloy wheels is the fact they reduce the unsprung weight, The unsprung weight is the weight of everything that is connected to wheel including your Terra Grappler G2 tires, the brakes and the suspension. When your unsprung weight is as low as possible, you maintain optimum contact with the road. When this occurs, you are allowed better traction, which means better handling. And we all crave a car that handles better.

The reduced weight will not only help with the performance of you car, it will help with the performance of your brakes. Alloy wheels dissipate heat better than steel wheels, thus increasing brake performance as well as reducing the incidences of brake failure. In addition, alloy wheels will give your brakes extended life. That said, a set of alloy wheels will give you a return on your investment.

Lastly, by choosing alloy rims, you allow the option of fitting wider tires that are lower in profile. These lower profile tires will improve steering, be more responsive and look quite well.
