And then he simulated a 100.000 miles of driving in 5 minutes and I could actually see the weight of the car crushing down those beautiful spokes every time it took a curve.Īnd then he also explained that the weight of a wheel must be perfectly balanced with the car because initially the alloy wheels were developed in an attempt to make cars lighter and therefore faster.
But then the guy working the Les Schwab virtual wheels actually pointed out that there are more things to consider.Īnd to demonstrated he used his Les Schwab virtual wheels program to put on the car some very wide, gracious wheels that you would expect to see on a Ferrari or on some other car like that. On it they took a picture of my exact car and somehow integrated it in the program so I could actually see how the different wheels would look on it.Īnd at first I thought it would be a challenging process because I had to find which wheels would go better with my car.
One of the first things I wanted to do on my Prius was to change its wheels because the old ones were tattered and old but I didn’t know what would best fit it and then I went down to their shop and I discovered they had a program called Les Schwab virtual wheels.
