Car tires

[assari]

Tyre dealer said to me that aluminum wheels are for faggots, real man buy steel wheels.

Was he right?

 

[squallumz]

depends. did you buy the aluminum ones?

if so, yes.

big rims are for sissies, real man buy smaller, but wider rims and tyres.

I did not buy anything.

So you think that if the car has aluminum wheels the owner is a homosexual?

Now THAT is salesmanship. I mean who wants to be a ******, right?

I think that this is a matter of attitude.

Alloy wheels are often decorative and feminine.

Steel wheels are always ugly and manly.

Depends on the car!!

Buy your tires from someone who isn't a douche.

I do not know.

Maybe chrome plated steel wheels are only right option for aluminum wheels.

Good advice, but it seems that all car accessory sellers are macho.

At least here where I live.

Fuck that guy! What do you want the wheels for? Are the roads shitty? If your answer is yes then get aluminum. Do you want better gas milage? If your answer is yes then get aluminum. Do you want your car to look better? If your answer is yes then get aluminum. Don't ever get chrome wheels especially if you live near the ocean because salt can get under the chrome plating around the bead and cause air leaks and chrome looks like **** except on Harleys and Semis.

Sounds like he's quite the connoisseur of men.

They let 12 year-olds sell tires?

yes

I'm not a tire expert, but I think you're right and aluminum wheels appear to offer a shorter braking distance which is always a plus.

Sounds like he's quite the connoisseur of men.

He's like Falling Down movie dumpstore guy.

Conservative, racist, sexist and apparently homophobic, but otherwise a good fellow and he has always good deals.

Car guys are macho.

yes

Ok...

None of us do not know what kind of person you are so it is difficult to answer.

But your car wheels...are they like this?

Last time I checked, wheels represented unsprung weight. And the last time I checked, a steel wheel weighed more than an aluminum wheel of the same dimensions. So you don't need a degree in physics or automotive engineering to figure out which is the better option for most applications: lighter is better.
