Recently, alloy wheels have become popular, however, despite these stamped metal discs are more common. This is due to the fact that the stamped discs have some advantages compared to litas.

Advantages of stamped metal disks

The main advantage is in their cost, which is much less than cast having similar characteristics. The cost of stamped discs is generally the cheapest and they are available to any car owner. Alloy wheels have another significant disadvantage, consisting in their rigidity along with flexibility.

During the collision, at high speed, the cast disk is most likely burst. The stamped disk at the same time is only deformed. Problems are mainly appearing in winter when a layer of snow and ice appears on the road surface, which prevents the driver in a timely manner to the bugs and pits.

In the case of a strong shock, the wheels will not damage, due to the plasticity, which the stamped discs are possessed. Discs can be restored in almost any car operators, after a serious collision.

Corrosion and metal disk

Stamped discs are characterized by increased functionality. Everyone knows that various reagents on the surface of garples are applied by road services, which contains a salt that negatively affects products from metal and rubber. Most believe that aluminum or magnesium, used for the manufacture of cast discs, is not corrosion, but this is not correct.  

Any metal, being in adverse conditions, is equally subjected to corrosion. As an example, you can bring the air conditioner metal tube that becomes unsuitable in a few years. In the process of permanent operation, cast discs after the first winter operation, its freshness is lost and the initial look.

What rubber can be used on stamped disks

A wide-profile tires are perfectly installed on the stamped discs, which are better coping with the terms of the Russian roads, due to the presence of a free board, which is necessary to resist with sharp impacts.

On the stamped discs you can use tubeless and chamber tires. On board this disk there is a specialized skirt, thanks to which the rubber is better cling to the edge of the side, without passing the air outwards. It is also another plus speaking of their practicality.

Balancing weights that have metal clothespins are installed on the stamped discs. If the disc will start with these clothespins, they can be removed to paint it. Thanks to the balancing, wear of any rubber will occur evenly, thanks to which its service life will be launched.
