Advics brake discs: how to spot a fake, reviews


Many drivers have recently chosen reasonable saving tactics, which consists of purchasing cheaper, but at the same time high-quality components for their cars. It is this trend that has led to domestic vehicle owners purchasing Replica wheels.

Replica wheels are, in the usual sense, copies of standard original light alloy cast wheels of various car brands.

Workmanship

It is worth noting that each disc undergoes quality control separately.
The probability of the presence of microcracks, cavities and other defects in the metal mass is 0%. If a disc does not meet the specified parameters, the manufacturer must confiscate it and such a part is not allowed for sale. The presence of a small amount of carbon makes the metal harder and more resistant to chips and cracks. The Replay disc package deserves special attention. This is what makes it easy to distinguish products from counterfeits. Includes:

  • gasket made of corrugated cardboard;
  • the disk itself;
  • ring made of durable plastic;
  • fabric pad;
  • cap;
  • protective package;
  • box;
  • passport and technical documentation.

Most ordinary Chinese “crafts” do not have such a “rich” configuration. The company presents to the buyer more than 2,000 different models of wheels - they produce them for almost all brands of vehicles. Quality control is carried out jointly by Russian and foreign engineers. An integrated approach minimizes the likelihood of purchasing a counterfeit.

Only such car wheels are presented at VIPKOLESA.COM

We tried to establish cooperation with many manufacturers, but very soon we became convinced that the quality of their products was insufficient. Some wheels had a good design, but could fall apart on the road. Others are strong and durable, but the design resembles plastic caps.

Now we purchase only high-quality wheels for Lexus from KH, which in their strength, durability, specifications (offset and landing diameter) and design have no equal in the Russian market.

Order a set of car wheels for Lexus directly on the website, and you will receive a 50% discount on balancing, which is performed on professional Hofmann equipment and takes no more than 25 minutes.

Definition of counterfeit

Since Enkei wheels are widely popular among car owners, they are often counterfeited. Counterfeits are usually of extremely low quality and do not meet any standards.

Therefore, it is important for drivers to be able to identify a fake and purchase the original product.

First of all, you should inspect the label. All inscriptions must be free from printing defects. Spelling and other errors are unacceptable. All original information provided corresponds to the data on the official website.

The disc must be in a box made of durable cardboard. The size of the original packaging corresponds to the wheel. Free movement of the disc inside the box is unacceptable.

Directly on the disc there are brand insignia. In the original they are performed smoothly and clearly. When identifying the authenticity, spelling errors and other inconsistencies are often discovered, indicating that the car owner is faced with a counterfeit.

Ivan Tufanov, Moscow, 29 years old: A friend recommended the discs to me. The wheels are very durable. I've been riding for over a year and so far I'm happy with it.

Viktor Gavrilov, Tomsk, 27 years old: Enkei wheels are completely worth their cost. Several times I flew into the pits, but the wheels were at least okay.

Roman Kasatkin, Novosibirsk, 28 years old: It took me a long time to decide when choosing wheels. The wheels look stylish. I didn’t notice any difference in movement compared to my family.

Dmitry Chugunov, Omsk, 35 years old: After purchasing Enkei wheels, I was surprised by their light weight. I love a sporty ride, so I had concerns about the durability of the wheels. Having ridden more than 47 thousand km, I can confidently say that the weight reduction did not affect the safety and reliability of the discs.

Wheels: original or replica?

Wheels: original or replica?

Lately, quite often on the fringes of various auto forums, questions have begun to appear on the topic of which wheels are better - original or replica. Therefore, it is worth understanding this issue.

First, we need to say what they are – Replica disks. Everything here is very simple, basically these are ordinary alloy wheels that look exactly the same as the original standard ones of various major brands of automakers. Typically, such discs repeat the manufacturer's logo and preserve the original design.

Sellers of such “copies” usually vying with each other to tell the buyer that such wheels are original and are produced under license from the automaker at some subsidiary plant somewhere in Europe. All of this is naturally a lie. Almost all Replica discs are produced either in Turkey or China and, naturally, the original manufacturer did not issue them any rights or licenses, which means that the release of such discs is, at a minimum, a violation of copyright.

As we found out above, the Replica is no different in appearance from the discs released by the original manufacturer, but what about the quality? Does it match the stock wheels? It is impossible to give an exact answer here, since this question relates to the buyer’s luck. It is difficult to predict at the time of purchase how well the disc is made, whether all technological processes are taken into account, and what the purchased product will ultimately be like in six months or a year.

But the problems can be different. For example, if the necessary production technology is not followed or the disk is made of a low-quality alloy, then over time, and this can happen even during the next seasonal tire replacement, the disk will become deformed and become unrepairable. Also, all Replica discs can be called such a big word as “exclusive”, but do not rush to rejoice, for example, if four absolutely identical discs were initially purchased, then if one is damaged, you are unlikely to find a replacement for it. The most common problem is poor-quality paintwork, which can deteriorate after just a few weeks of use.

But if the choice nevertheless fell on Replica, then here you need to know several important rules. Firstly, it’s worth buying Replica discs only if the seller can give a written guarantee for the products sold. Secondly, after purchase, you need to take the wheels for a thorough diagnosis to a tire shop.

In the end, I would like to say why non-original copies of standard discs are becoming more and more popular every year, despite a possible loss in quality. It's simple - such disks are externally indistinguishable from standard ones, but cost much less. But in the pursuit of cheapness, people often forget about the most important thing - safety, so it’s better to think a hundred times: is it worth saving on it?


Replica Replica discord

If you see Lexus wheels in a store, a set of which costs as much as an inexpensive smartphone, rest assured that their quality cannot be high. You understand that high-quality alloy is expensive, and you need several kilograms of it for each disc. Include here the equipment, delivery costs, paint and varnish coating, manufacturer's markup... What do you think the company will save on? That's right, on the quality of the alloy and its quantity, because this is noticeable only after the purchase, when nothing can be done.

Today I want to share my review of Slick forged wheels.

The Slik company is located in the city of Tolyatti, it was founded quite a long time ago - back in 1992. This is one of the most popular companies in Russia producing forged wheels.

Forged wheels are made from the same materials as cast wheels, but by hot die forging. Such discs are very durable, but at the same time retain the plasticity of stamped discs. They are also much lighter than cast, and even more so, stamped wheels. Their main disadvantage is the high price and simpler design than alloy wheels.

As I wrote earlier, in the fall of 2012 I purchased a Lada Kalina car. A set of Nokian Nordman winter tires was installed on the standard factory stamped wheels.

In the spring of 2013, the question arose about purchasing normal summer tires and wheels for the summer. As I wrote earlier, Nokian Hakka Green was chosen as the summer tire. And as discs, it was decided to purchase forged rather than cast discs.

The choice fell on white 6-spoke wheels Slik L173S.

Just at the same time, a Grosta store opened in Naberezhnye Chelny. On the opening day there were many bonuses and promotions.

Some Slick wheels come in two versions - Standard and Sport. The letter S in the L173S model just means the Sport version. Externally, it differs from the standard version in the absence of a plug for the central hole for the hub nut, as well as a red sticker with the inscription Slik on one of the spokes.

I appreciated the first advantage of these discs when I was carrying them from the store to the car: their light weight allows me to carry all four discs in two boxes at once. Even after putting tires on the rims, the wheel assembly was still very light. Removing, installing or moving wheels, for example, during seasonal replacement, is a pleasure.

I would say another advantage of Slik discs is the quality of workmanship. All dimensions are made perfectly, the holes are made without burrs, nicks or other defects, and their dimensions exactly match the seats on the hub.

The third plus is strength. Over two years of active use on roads of varying quality, Slik wheels have never required adjustments or repairs - they are still practically in new condition. The only thing is that over time the sticker with the inscription Slik begins to peel off.

Now about the disadvantages of Slik forged wheels. The most important and significant disadvantage, of course, is the price - a set of wheels costs at least one and a half times more than the same alloy wheels. I would also like to say about the white color for the discs - they certainly look beautiful and impressive, but they quickly get dirty with dirt and wear products from the brake pads. But this, of course, applies to all white discs.

Adjusted for the price, Slik forged wheels can be called an excellent option to buy.

Choosing brake discs: 5 simple steps

Brake discs have a wear rate. In addition to standard service life, wear is affected by operating conditions (braking intensity, weather conditions, compatibility with brake pads and calipers).

How to independently determine that you need to change brake discs?

  • when braking, the steering wheel began to “beat”, a grinding sound was heard;
  • braking distance has increased;
  • the brake discs have cracks, deep scratches, and deformation;
  • a bead (protrusion) has formed along the edge of the disk.

Choosing the best brake discs is a difficult task. There are many offers on the market and the discs differ from each other in technical characteristics that are difficult to determine visually. We have broken the task down into 5 simple steps. If you are too lazy to read, just call us - we will select the best discs for you.

How to identify your consumer

At the very beginning, you should decide on two main questions: what is being sold and to whom.

What – product, service or complex. It is not recommended to immediately take the plunge and withdraw 500 SKUs. It is much safer to start with a small but well-balanced product portfolio.

After all, a new market and new products are something that the consumer has never tried. The buyer needs to recognize the need, get used to it, get acquainted with the brand and have the first customer experience.

For business, this is the time of the first wave of collecting feedback from consumers about the brand and products, because the first impression cannot be made twice. It is recommended to start with the must-have assortment, that is, with those SKUs that are 100% necessary in the assortment. For example, the segment of wireless solutions (smart home) can be successfully started with 6 SKUs: two types of smart video cameras, three sensors and a smart socket.

A global example of such a product launch model is Kylie Jenner’s cosmetic empire KYLIE COSMETICS. The enterprising younger sister of the Kardashian-Jenner clan began to instill love for her brand with one product - a matte lipstick + pencil set, which became a bestseller. Later, the brand’s product portfolio included eyeliners, eye shadows, blushes, powders and much more. In 2021, Kylie is the youngest member of the Forbes list among highly paid stars under 30 years old with an annual income of $41 million.

Today, customers are the main asset of a business. An important and responsible stage is the precise determination of the target audience (TA) of the brand and its characteristics. A mistake here, as at the positioning stage, is almost fatal.

You should not skimp on choosing a quality agency that will do a detailed study of your target audience. It is necessary to clearly and in detail segment the audience, identify the core, determine what needs and “pains” each segment has, what is the motivation for consumption, what values ​​will the client receive if he uses the product.

The Russian market, especially FMCG, presents one big failure in defining the target audience. The famous brand sells candies in the middle price segment and sales are not going well. The product manager improved the quality of the packaging and increased the price, thus reorienting the product to a different target audience, and sales increased. At the same time, the consumer properties of the sweets have not changed. There is no need to be afraid to put forward theories and test them; on the contrary, you should “dig” the audience.

It is important to understand the geography of future sales, because the product values ​​for consumers in Kaliningrad and Tatarstan may be completely different, and this will require adjustments in the communication strategy depending on the sales region. Therefore, the target audience must be developed taking into account the future geography of the brand’s presence

Quantitative and qualitative research indicators will provide the basis for planning purchase and sales volumes, geography of sales offices, and development of a marketing strategy

Therefore, the target audience must be worked out taking into account the future geography of the brand’s presence. Quantitative and qualitative research indicators will provide the basis for planning purchase and sales volumes, geography of sales offices, and development of a marketing strategy.

What to do if the oxidation process has begun on Toyota wheels

The main way to protect wheels from oxidation is to paint and remove all existing spots. Professionals in most cases use powder paint, which is represented by phosphorus and special powder.

As for painting at home, it includes the following steps:

  • Preparation of necessary tools, equipment and materials.
  • Cleaning car rims from dirt.
  • Detailed diagnostics.
  • Restoration and polishing.
  • Priming, painting and applying a layer of varnish.

Before the painting procedure, you should first prepare a primer, acrylic paint, solvent, sandpaper, varnish, drill and tape for painting. The rims are removed from the car and the tire is removed from it, after which it is suspended using wire to simplify the work. Stamped original parts are cleaned of dirt accumulations with water with the addition of ordinary detergent, and especially difficult contaminants are removed using chemicals. After the discs have dried, they should be carefully inspected for damage and defects.


Preparing wheels for painting at home

To prevent further rust formation, which entails the oxidation process, it is recommended to treat the parts with sandpaper. Using a rag, remove the sanded material, after which the surface that has been treated is degreased.

Wheels for Toyota

installed a standard factory set of 16-inch wheels with rubber tire parameters of 205/55. To improve the stability of the car, it is recommended to give preference to larger rims (for example, the original R17), but in this case the tire sizes will also change.

Note!

When selecting disk sizes, it is necessary to take into account the manufacturer's recommendations, since non-standard parts and their installation will violate the warranty requirements.

The parameters of car components will also depend on what power unit is installed in the car, as well as on the release date. Experienced motorists point out that every driver must know exactly the parameters of the wheels and the level of pressure in the tires. This information may be required in the following situations:

  • during vehicle maintenance;
  • when replacing tires in winter or summer;
  • during repair work that may occur due to deformation of the road surface or wear.

To determine the required disks, specialists need accurate information regarding the size of the spare part.

It is strictly forbidden to focus solely on the wheel provided or on a specific brand of Toyota car, because the risk of purchasing unsuitable wheels will increase several times.

If we look at a specific example, the Toyota Corolla model requires r16 steel wheels with standard dimensions of 15 inches and marked 195/55. If the car is equipped with the Comfort-Plus class, then it is recommended to give preference to light alloy parts of the wheel set, marked 205/55.

How the AFS system works

Adaptive lighting of the AFS system is a product created by German specialists from Volkswagen, which provides the ability to change the direction of the light flux emitted by the car's headlights. In order for this option to work as efficiently as possible, the car must be equipped with xenon headlights that can be tilt adjusted. The design and principle of operation of the AFS adaptive light is as follows:

  • the car houses the main control unit for this system, which receives signals from various basic devices - cameras, light level sensors, steering wheel;
  • After analyzing all the data, the unit determines the required type of lighting, as well as the situation on the road;
  • after this, the electronics sends a corresponding signal to the headlights;
  • the system adjusts the brightness of the emitted light, as well as the angle at which the light beam falls.

To activate this service, simply move the car light control switch to the Auto position. After this, the assistant will automatically recognize turns, track lighting and make decisions about adjusting the necessary parameters.

How to choose the right alloy wheels for Toyota all-wheel drive cars: tips and tricks

When choosing alloy wheels for Toyota all-wheel drive vehicles, you need to take into account the material from which the parts were made.

Today, magnesium, aluminum or titanium alloy is used to make discs, but aluminum discs are considered one of the best. This is due to the fact that aluminum is practically not subject to corrosion and has a presentable appearance after processing.

Cast aluminum wheel for Toyota

The driver chooses the design and color of the parts individually, but the material from which they are made plays an important role.

If we take into account the composition of the material, then the original cast Toyota wheels are as follows:

  • durable and lightweight - made of forged aluminum;
  • ultra-strong and lightweight - made of forged magnesium alloy;
  • discs made of cast magnesium alloy are considered lightweight, but susceptible to cracks and impacts;
  • The most optimal in terms of the combination of qualities are parts made of cast aluminum.

Note!

Experts do not recommend giving preference to cast components for car wheels that are made of magnesium, since they are high cost and in most cases are intended only for sports cars.

When choosing original parts for a particular car model, it is necessary to take into account a number of specific parameters. As for Toyota vehicles, the center diameter, offset, and also the radius of the centers of the mounting holes are taken into account in the process of purchasing disks. The offset is represented by the distance between the disk mounting plane and the plane of the part itself, but for each model this characteristic is determined individually and is designated OFFSET.

The selection of such a parameter as offset must be carried out following the recommendations from the manufacturer. Some motorists neglect this rule and install wider alloy wheels to increase maneuverability and stability. But this can lead to the fact that the load on the hub bearings and the engine will gradually increase due to increased fuel consumption.

Difference from original auto parts

It is important to remember that this brand does not position itself as an official supplier of parts for various car brands. There are a number of important differences from parts produced by automakers:

  • there is no special marking on the disc cap;
  • the item may vary slightly in color;
  • overall dimensions of the knitting needles, their number may also not correspond to the original one.

In turn, the disc offset, the diameter of the central hole, and the bolt pattern are 100% identical to the original ones. The discs are also well balanced. When purchasing real wheels from Replica, you don’t have to put weights on the wheel - after installing the camera, it will be balanced to zero. It is only important to familiarize yourself in advance with all the intricacies of selection and purchase.

Wheels replica or original?

Let's make it clear right away that there is no company producing Replica disks. Moreover, replica discs are not produced at the manufacturer’s own factories.

As a rule, manufacturers develop their own wheel design for each car brand. Cars are equipped with these wheels on the assembly line, and most often designers develop several wheel options for one car at once.

There are three types of wheel rims for cars, which differ in their performance characteristics, material and manufacturing method:

1. Stamped steel;

2. Light alloy cast;

3. Light alloy forged.

Of course, only modern car wheels are included in this classification.

As before, the most common and proven are the good old stamped discs.

Despite many shortcomings, they continue to enjoy popularity, which is caused by their versatility, availability and low cost.

But alloy wheels have many advantages over stamped ones. They are much superior to them in their technological and technical characteristics, however, their cost is much higher. But, despite this, today most car enthusiasts prefer to purchase alloy wheels rather than use cheap plastic caps in order to camouflage the steel stamping.

Alloy wheels weigh much less, which has a positive effect on the dynamic properties of the car. Moreover, they are much stronger, and purely aesthetically they look more beautiful and attractive.

Benefits of Replica drives

Replica discs are remarkable in that they not only exactly replicate the design of the originals, but also have the same strength, quality, material of manufacture and all technical parameters.

The only difference between replica disks is the absence of an individual number on their inner surface.

But the main advantage that makes replica disks more attractive is their low cost compared to the original ones.

Where are Replica wheels made?

Basically, factories that produce replica discs are located in Italy, Turkey and the countries of Southeast Asia.

It also happens that dealers offer wheels made in the United Arab Emirates. However, this is not true, since there are simply no such factories in the UAE.

Typically, large Arab distributors buy large quantities of discs from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China or Taiwan, and then distribute them worldwide under their own brand.

As for products from Divnogorsk and Krasnoyarsk, their products also cannot be called a replica. Despite the fact that their discs completely copy the technical characteristics and parameters of the originals, they are distinguished by their own original design and are produced under their own names.

The most common replica wheels today are products from Asian manufacturers, for example, the Chinese company LS Wheels.

Turkish wheels have a more unsightly paint finish, and the weight of Turkish wheels is 40-50% more.

As for Europe, the most common brands here are German (Dotz, Dezent, Kosei, Enkel) or Italian (Route company).

And in Japan and North America you can find replicas of Asian origin much more often.

Important! In addition to high-quality Replica products, many dealers today offer outright fakes. In addition to the fact that such discs do not meet technical requirements, they are also dangerous.

To avoid buying a fake, ask the seller to present a RosTest certificate with the specified product parameters.

Toyota wheels in Moscow

Despite the fact that the manufacturer has its own vision of the Toyota exterior in Moscow and experts recommend purchasing only original components, motorists want to periodically make their own adjustments to the appearance of the car. Most often, tuning begins with changing the design of the wheels.

Many well-known brands are working to ensure that the presented components not only become a highlight of the exterior, but also help improve the performance characteristics of Toyota.

Manufacturers use a variety of innovative technologies, honing each geometric parameter of products so that motorists do not have problems with their installation.

If you are in search of high-quality and functional wheels for Toyota, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the presented list of suitable rim models from various manufacturers in the Wheels for Free online store. We sell both original components and premium replicas. We are sure that you will find your ideal parts with us.

The importance of technical potential

Like the choice of many other components, purchasing Toyota wheels in Moscow should be taken seriously.

After all, there are wheel models that are installed on the vehicle as if they were “original”, and there are those that require attachment rings.

If you do not follow the technical requirements of the manufacturer, there is a possibility of poor control quality, distortion of the speedometer readings and many other problems. Therefore, when selecting suitable options, we recommend paying attention to:

  1. rim width - this parameter, according to experts, should be no more than 25-30% of the rubber profile. Deviations from these values ​​in one direction or another will lead to a deterioration in the quality of management;
  2. diameter – if you decide to buy rims with a smaller diameter compared to the original components, you will need to install low profile tires. However, experts do not recommend deviating from the manufacturer’s technical requirements;
  3. diameter of fasteners – the mounting diameter plays an important role when installing components, and if you select the wrong parameter, you simply will not be able to install the disk;
  4. hub geometry - in the list of characteristics this value is designated as DIA. If the size of the hub hole turns out to be larger, you will not be able to install it without centering rings; otherwise, installation is impossible at all;
  5. offset value - the developers who designed Toyota calculated this parameter taking into account the maximum stability of the vehicle and the load on the hub. Therefore, you should not deviate from the offset value specified by the manufacturer.

Well, then the choice is only up to the material and cost level. In the catalog of the online store “Wheels for Free” you can cheaply order stamped wheels from rolled steel, stylish cast products with attractive design and low weight, or high-strength, durable forged structures.

No room for error

When purchasing discs in Moscow, the choice of distributor also plays an important role.

After all, today there are many scammers on the market who sell inexpensive counterfeits that not only have a short service life, but can also cause accidents due to poor quality.

Therefore, we recommend purchasing car components only from time-tested sellers, which is the online store “Wheels for Free”.

Mastershade represents: A copy of the original or a replica. What is this?

The mysterious word "replica"

The concept of “replica” should be very familiar to those who have been looking for copies of expensive men's accessories, in particular Swiss watches. This is the general term for copies (not to be confused with fakes!) of original branded items, which, according to the replica principle, are offered on the market at more attractive, lower prices.

With regard to car wheels, it is necessary to immediately mention that despite the fact that the word replica is often written in English letters with capital letters (Replica), it is not a brand or manufacturing company. Basically any Replica

is tied exclusively to a specific disk model. And where is the company that released such a copy on the market, or where is the plant of this company located - information is secondary and, in fact, not so significant for the car owner, that is, the final buyer.

Why is a replica needed?

It’s all about money, or more precisely, the cost of alloy car wheels. Of course, this type of wheel rims is gaining more and more popularity, since “casting” has plenty of advantages - exquisite designs, rust resistance, low weight (due to light alloy material), and various factors affecting the driving dynamics of the car. However, alloy wheels

still remain quite expensive.

Let's imagine that you lost (for example, as a result of a breakdown that cannot be repaired) one of these disks on your machine. What to do? Of course, you can contact dealers regarding the original equipment and purchase exactly the same alloy wheel

to replace.

But a number of car owners in such a situation will prefer a replica, especially since it may even be cheaper than the cost of repairing a damaged wheel (and repairing an alloy wheel is not always advisable). The replica may also be useful for those who want to “switch” from heavy steel wheels to lightweight ones, improving the dynamics of the car.

In general, Replica allows thrifty drivers to save extra money, and provides manufacturers of such products with extra income from such a desire to save money.

Features of replica disks

Car Wheels Replica

in essence, these are copies of standard original wheels, and the range of replicas covers many names of branded models of car wheels that are found on modern cars. These products copy literally everything, from geometry, design, other technical features of the original to such little things as the brand logo. Only an expert can recognize a replica by its level of workmanship. For the average driver, the best sign of distinction is the absence on the replica of the serial number characteristic of the original wheels.

A technologically high-quality replica is practically not inferior in physical and chemical properties to the original. This “practically” explains the relatively low price, as opposed to the guaranteed high-quality original.

Who produces and guarantees replica discs?

Manufacturers Replica

quite a lot, and many of them work without a license to use the original design from the brand. Mainly, manufacturing plants are located in Turkey, China, and some other Asian countries.

According to experts, you don’t have to wait for a factory warranty on replica wheels - it’s easier to wait for a warranty from the company that sold you this product.

So, it makes sense to buy a replica if you:

  • Want to get the design of alloy cast wheels;
  • Do you want to gain driving advantages by switching to light alloy;
  • Strive to decorate the wheels for the lowest possible price, but without resorting to “hubcaps”;
  • You don’t want to overpay for the highest quality of original products;
  • Don’t be afraid to deal with little-known manufacturers and products of dubious origin;
  • We are prepared for the fact that the quality of a replica also does not always correspond to its price.

How does AFL light work?

Adaptive light operating using the AFL system was developed by specialists from the German auto brand Opel. It is a combined variation of the vehicle's main light adjustments and involves the use of additional headlight lighting elements when making a turn. For this type, it is envisaged to install lighting elements that are capable of producing the same results in both low and high beams. The main feature of the system is monitoring the angle of rotation of the steering wheel and correcting the direction of the vehicle's light flux at high speed.

About the pdw disc brand

The PDW company is a young but successfully developing brand of car wheels. The manufacturer improves its products by introducing innovations into the technological process. Thus, the brand’s car wheels have a number of advantages over their competitors.

The key one is the minimum weight of the disc, which ensures the safety of vehicle movement and improves ride quality on any road surface.

Modern technologies have also allowed the manufacturer to ensure high strength and reliability of the aluminum wheels produced.

PDW brand yesterday and today

The company began its history of manufacturing alloy wheels in 2007. Its production facilities, both 11 years ago and today, are located in Melbourne (Australia).

The starting point for the brand’s existence was the merger of two largest enterprises: the Prestige Wheels & Accessories concern and the Dawning Industrial TM.

As a result, a new wheel manufacturing company called “Prestige Dawning Wheels” appeared.

The expansion of the sales market contributed to the reorientation of the company. The Australian brand has improved not only the production of rims, but also its marketing policy.

The company achieved success in 2009, when its products were already supplied to 35 countries around the world.

Today the PDW plant covers an area of ​​more than 90,000 square meters. m. The average production rate of wheel rims is about 200 thousand products per month. The company employs a team of 700 highly qualified specialists with international experience in various sectors of the production of light alloy wheels.

PDW Product Range

Currently, the manufacturer offers several collections of car wheels that differ in design:

  • Speedstar
  • Hybrid
  • Fury
  • Phantom
  • Prism
  • Transformer
  • Race
  • Lenzo
  • Eclipse
  • Kaiser
  • XXX and others

All PDW wheels can be divided into 4 categories. The first Euro group is designed for those who prefer interesting stylish colors and unique design. Alloy wheels of the SUV series are an excellent option for owners of large, massive cars and SUVs.

The “Luxury” category includes models of wheels of exclusive design, emphasizing the class of the car and the status of its owner. Alloy wheels "Sport" are suitable for racing drivers and fans of high-speed driving. Models of the latter category are also distinguished by their aggressive design and combination of bright colors.

What is meant by adaptive light and why it should be used

Adaptive light implies a lighting system that allows you to change the direction of the flow of headlights simultaneously with a change in the direction of movement of the car. For the first time this function was created and used on their own cars by engineers from the German Volkswagen.

Thanks to the use of this option when driving in the dark, the level of safety of both vehicle passengers and other road users increases. Using the ability to automatically adjust the light flow frees the driver from the need for manual position adjustments. Thanks to the joint work of the lighting system with other components and services of the vehicle while driving, the operating mode of the headlights itself is adjusted, as well as the brightness level of the vehicle optics.

As a rule, adaptive light can greatly simplify the process of driving in the following situations:

  • When driving on an open highway with the high beams on and gradually approaching oncoming traffic, the driver must manually switch from high to low beams. Thanks to the existence of an adaptive system, there is no need for manual transitions between different types of lighting. This function independently performs the transition between high and low beam;
  • Driving along a winding section of the road in the dark involves making frequent turns, and the illumination of the road in this case will be poor. Thanks to the use of this service, the driver receives a fully illuminated road on which any objects will be visible.
