At 106 St. Tire & Wheel, we get a lot of questions about wheel alignments...so we thought it would be a good idea to set the record straight and clear up any misconceptions. Your car leaves the factory with the wheels set at specific angles for proper drivability, stability, and handling. The crucial alignment angles for the front wheels are toe-in/toe-out, referring to the direction in which a wheel points (relative to a dead-ahead straight line); caster, which refers to the position of the top of the wheel, and camber, which is the offset of the suspension relative to an imaginary vertical straight line behind the wheel. Many newer vehicles also are designed with adjustable rear suspensions, and a four-wheel alignment ensures that the rear wheels' “thrust angle” is at a proper relationship with the front wheels. There are only two major signs that can indicate improper wheel alignment. One is a persistent pull to the right or ... read more

Plenty of manufacturers claim they market and sell “racing wheels,” but TSW can truly back that claim up. TSW has a 30-year pedigree in autosports, having been founded by a former Formula One racing driver. TSW wheels have been on cars at 24 Hours of Le Mans, Spec Miata and many other autosports events. Their wheels evolved from racing technology; TSW was first out of the gate with the race-style hex nut look, a popular choice on many racing wheels today. "Staggered applications" means a wider wheel at the car's rear wheels, and TSW offers a huge variety of staggered wheel applications, with as many as three different widths for a perfect fitment. Their staggered wheels are available for 17” to 22” applications, with wheel lips as large as 5”. Many of TSW's hyper-black and hyper-silver finishes feature machine cut wheel lips, also referred to as mirror-cut or diamond-cut. Other finishes for TSW wheels include chrome, gunmetal, matte black and matte bronze ... read more
