About Alloy Wheel x5s

An alloy is a combination of two elements, one being a metal, producing a metal with different properties, that is stronger; often more lightweight; efficient at heat conduction; easy to shape into different formations; and more resistant to rust than the more commonly used steel. These are reasons why alloy is a popular choice as the material for car wheels. Modern manufactured alloy wheels are usually made of an alloy of aluminium but can also be made of an alloy of magnesium or chrome. 

The Mercedes-Benz alloy wheel X5 are five strong and durable alloy wheels and the perfect replacement set of wheels for your car, plus a spare.

The wheels of a car are a crucial part of the car. Choosing the right wheels for a vehicle is important; they play a big part in how well the car handles on the road, affecting the performance and general efficiency of the car.  Being lighter the model> alloy wheel X5 can enhance the performance of a car by reducing the amount of fuel the car uses, improving steering performance acceleration and braking. Being excellent heat conductors means that with alloy wheels the brakes are less likely to fail when under pressure. Functionality and durability aren't the only reason alloy wheels are popular with car owners. Alloy wheels have a certain look and style that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a car offering sleek bare metal finishes and various shapes, designs and styles of wheel, allowing drivers to customise and personalise their car.  

Although more resistant to corrosion than steel wheels, the Mercedes-Benz alloy wheel X5 are likely to eventually become susceptible to rust and are particularly given to galvanic corrosion, which can lead to problems with the tyres letting out air. Alloy wheels should be protected with a cover, paint or a sealant which will increase their resistance to corrosion and regular cleaning will help to increase their lifespan and look. However, due to the amount of wear and tear they receive on the road, from adverse weather and debris such as stones, mud, sticks and water, as well as being prone to receiving dents, knocks and scratches, they will eventually need replacing. When purchasing replacement alloy wheels for your vehicle, make sure they are the right size for both the tyre and your car (using the wrong size wheel and tyre can cause damage to the car) and that they are compatible with the make and model of your car.  More expensive to produce than steel wheels’ alloy wheels are generally more expensive to buy.

Mercedes-Benz trivia

• Karl Benz founded the famous car company. He is not only credited as the maker of the world's first practical motorcar but also has the distinction of being the first person ever issued with a driving license (local citizens kept complaining about the noise and smell of his Motorwagen, and so he needed written permission to drive it).
• The Popemobile is a Mercedes Benz M-Class SUV. It's not a standard model, however, and has some added features like an inbuilt oxygen system and bulletproof glass.
• Mercedes are responsible for a lot of 'firsts' in their long history, including the world's first production of a diesel car. Very impressive, but it only had three wheels. Production stopped pretty quickly in the late 1950s.
• Karl Benz might have patented the design of his Motorwagen in 1886, but it was his wife who jumped behind the wheel first for a quick (as quick a 0.9hp will deliver) 120-mile tour through the countryside of Germany. Poor Karl didn't even know!
• Ever noticed that you've never heard a Mercedes rattle or make any kind of squealing sound? You never will either, because all of their vehicles are welded in up to 10,000 places! You're not going to find a loose nut or bolt rolling around.
