The customization of your ride is a serious process that simplified explained, consist in transforming a car in your presentation card on the streets. Since that's the first thing anyone will see wherever you are getting in, it's as important as your own look; so you need to work on it's presence as study it as you do with yourself everyday on the mirror. If we understand that a car paint is important because is the everyday clothing, then obviously, the wheels are the everyday shoes and your car clothes and shoes cant be dressed and undressed like yourself, is important that you really choose the right paint color and the perfect wheels.

We won't be talking about the paint, but about that moment when you see the perfect rim to dress your car. You know you want that wheel because you love it at the moment you see it, it's just feels right for your representation card because it transmit your personality while inside your ride and even when hanging out with your bros. Now that you have chosen the bling is time to install it and you better know what your car's axis PCD is.

Dealing with PCD while installing your bling rim into your machine; PCD is an anachronism of Pitch Circle Diameter and it means, basically, number of lugs and diameter (the diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle). For example, a PCD of 4x100 minds 4 lugs and 100mm diameter. So what if your perfect locking rim doesn't match your car's axis PCD? Then you have a very little chance that using an specific bolt it will be matched, or you have to buy Billet Wheel Adapters. This precious piece will do the job, whatever the mismatch is the lug count or diameter. It's usual that referring to Billet Wheel Adapters you will see PCD 1 and PCD 2; don't confuse this, the PCD 1 is your car's axis and the PCD 2 is your gorgeous rim.
