Roskachestvo, on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the State Commission for Combating Illicit Circulation of Industrial Products, conducted a quality check of automotive aluminum rims with a diameter of 16 inches. The study included copies of the 23 most common brands under whose brands non-original wheels are produced in Russia, China, Italy, Germany, and Taiwan.
RUSSIAN QUALITY SYSTEM STANDARD
The standard of the Russian quality system for wheels made of aluminum alloys establishes an increase in the requirements for the physical properties of the metal from which the wheels are made: yield strength, relative elongation and Brinell hardness. These tests are needed to predict how the alloys from which the rims are made are prone to deformation during operation. In addition, corrosion resistance was evaluated.
How was the security tested?
The main tests of automobile rims concerned their safety. They simulated the daily operation of a car - impact test, rolling test and torsional bending test. Wheels that do not pass even one of these tests can pose a real threat on the road, as a negative result is the destruction of the wheel.
Impact test
The impact test tests the impact strength of the material and the application of these qualities of the alloy in the design of the disc. In this case, a wheel impact on an obstacle, curb or pit on the road surface is simulated.
The wheel fails the test if one of the following occurs:
- visible rudimentary crack in the area of the wheel disk assembly;
- the central element is separated from the rim;
- complete loss of internal pressure within one minute.
The result of the test is considered satisfactory if there are no visible cracks on the surface of the rim and if no reduction in air pressure in the tire is noted within one minute after completion of the test. Cracks and dents caused by direct contact with a dropped load are acceptable. In the case of rims with removable rims or other elements that can be removed, if the screw connections adjacent to the spoke or vent holes fail the test, the wheel is considered to have failed the test.
Rolling test
The rolling test simulates the load on the car when passing a certain distance (about 1800 kilometers) at speeds up to 80 km/h. In this test, a rim with a tire mounted on it is pressed against a rotating drum with a well-calculated load, thereby simulating rolling on the road surface. This experience shows how the wheel behaves under normal and critical conditions. The result of the test can be called positive if the rolling did not lead to a break or the slightest cracks in the disk.
Torsional bending
The torsional bending test simulates the maximum load in a car turn and must withstand a certain number of cycles (1,800,000).
To calculate the maximum load, the maximum foreseeable loads under the worst operating conditions and the most important technical factors such as vehicle weight at maximum load, tire type and size, ET and PCD wheels are taken into account.
The result of the test can be called positive if the full cycle of rotations did not lead to a break or the slightest cracks in the material of the rim.
Who failed the test
Six brands of aluminum rims failed the impact test. This suggests that when hitting an obstacle, cars on these discs can cause an accident. Such discs are considered unsafe.
- X-Race brand wheel, produced in China and imported to Russia by the Yarshintorg company, could not withstand a blow to the valve; its central part has separated from the wheel rim - this is a serious violation, the product is unsafe.
- PROMA trademark wheel, produced in Russia at Fest LLC, could not withstand a blow to the spoke. After the test, cracks were found in the connection between the spoke and the rim - this is a serious violation, the product is unsafe.
- 4GO brand wheel , made in China and imported to Russia by the Russian Aluminum Disks company could not withstand a blow to the valve. He had cracks in the connection of the spokes with the rim and the tightness was broken - this is a serious violation, the product is unsafe.
- Replay brand wheel, made in China failed both impact tests. A blow to the valve cracked the spokes in connection with the central part. And a blow to the spoke (on another sample) tore the center of the wheel off the rim, which led to an instant loss of pressure in the tire - this is a serious violation, the product is unsafe.
- Wheel brand "MEGALYUM", manufactured in Russia by the company of the same name, failed both impact tests. A blow to the valve tore the spokes from the center element, and a blow to the spoke (on a new sample) separated the center element from the rim - this is a serious violation, the product is unsafe.
Also, the wheel of the MEGALUM trademark did not pass any test of the physical properties of the metal from which it is made. The tensile strength, yield strength and relative elongation of the wheel do not meet the advanced standards of Roskachestvo. - Alcasta brand wheel, made in China failed the impact test. A blow to the spoke caused the central element to separate from the rim - this is a serious violation, the product is unsafe.
Important point:
None of the brands of aluminum rims that did not pass the safety tests met the leading elongation standard of Roskachestvo during the study. This suggests that the wheels during operation can be deformed, which is another confirmation of the poor quality of these products.
Who violated, but not seriously
Alcasta aluminum wheels have labeling violations - this is one of the most common violations among all product categories investigated by Roskachestvo. In particular, the year of manufacture of the wheel was not indicated on the disks.
It is also worth noting that when purchasing aluminum wheels through the store/manufacturer's website or when communicating with managers, as well as when receiving a wheel directly, not all brands accompanied their products with complete information. According to the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union, wheels must be marked with data on the name or trademark, configuration designation, rim size designation, wheel offset, date of manufacture. However, when buying some wheels, it was impossible to find out their weight, country of origin, and some did not have a bar code. This is not a violation, but it makes it difficult to identify products if the buyer has clear preferences.
Who passed all the trials
According to the results of the study of aluminum wheels, six brands were recognized as high-quality goods - two Russian-made and four Chinese. Their products coped with all safety tests, the qualitative physical properties prescribed in the advanced Roskachestvo standard were confirmed, they were all right with the labeling.
Discs are recognized as durable, reliable, safe, resistant to corrosion:
- Techline, Russia;
- VERITAS-16, Russia;
- YST, China;
- BANTAJ, China;
- N20, China;
- NZ, China.
According to the results of the study of aluminum rims, 11 brands were recognized as high-quality and safe goods. They do not have safety violations, that is, they have passed tests that simulate everyday operation. However, some of them did not pass the test of the physical properties of the metal, according to the advanced standard of Roskachestvo, and could have violations in terms of marking.

*Overview of the best in the opinion of the editors of the site. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.
Many motorists purchased alloy wheels in order to improve the appearance of the car or replace damaged products. People had to face a number of difficulties. The domestic car market has a rich assortment of castings made both abroad and in our country. To choose the right wheels for your car, you need to understand a number of technical parameters. We invite you to get acquainted with the recommendations of our experts.
Geometric parameters. Alloy wheels differ in a number of technical characteristics. The easiest way is to choose the appropriate option for the model of the car. But it will be safer to spend a little of your time and find out such important geometric parameters of disks as:
- landing size;
- number and shape of mounting holes;
- width;
- departure;
- hub hole diameter;
- the presence of humps (ring protrusions on the rim).
Advantages of alloy wheels The attractiveness of "casting" is explained by the following advantages.
- First of all, users are attracted by a beautiful appearance. The consumer is offered a variety of shapes and a rich range of colors.
- An important advantage of "casting" is the reduction in the weight of the wheels. This has a positive effect on fuel consumption and suspension durability.
- Alloy wheels improve the handling of the car, the owners observe a smoother ride of the car and quick acceleration.
Disadvantages of alloy wheels When buying new wheels for your car, you should also take into account the disadvantages of "casting".
- Experts consider low maintainability as the main disadvantage. Even if the damage can be "cured", the cost of repair can be comparable to buying a new drive. Therefore, experts recommend in the conditions of our country to put alloy wheels in the spring-autumn season in combination with summer tires.
- Aesthetic cutouts on the "casting" look attractive, but dirt is packed into them. It is not removed from the disk on its own, therefore, when it dries, the wheel balance is disturbed.
- Alloy wheels vary greatly in price. It depends not only on the popularity of the manufacturer, but also on the manufacturing technology. In addition, innovative coatings are used to give a beautiful appearance, which is also reflected in the cost.
We have selected the top 20 alloy wheel manufacturers for our review. Their products are supplied to the trade network of our country. When allocating places, the opinion of the expert community and the reviews of domestic motorists were taken into account.

Attention! This rating is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.
Any car fitted with standard metal rims feels gray and ordinary, a feeling that something is missing from it. But if you install alloy wheels on the car, then the car is incredibly transformed. The best alloy wheels rated by Mark.guru is an opportunity to choose an excellent set of original products for your car.
To choose the best models for a car, consider certain factors:
- Design. It can be absolutely anything and is selected taking into account personal preferences and wishes.
- purpose. For cars, this product has a number of functions, including improving the controllability of the car, reducing inertia, and improving the functioning of the suspension.
- Diameter. It must match the inner width of the tire. You can choose a larger diameter and use low-profile rubber. In this case, the disks look more solid, but the weight of the wheel increases.
- Mounting holes and their diameter(LZ and PCD respectively). If these parameters are chosen incorrectly, cast discs will not install. PCD must meet the prescribed indicators in the manual.
- ET (disc offset). This is the distance from the attachment point to the plane of symmetry, measured in millimeters. Additional stability and a sporty look of the car are given by wide wheels, but with a minimum overhang. However, this increases the load on the hub bearings, so it is important to take into account the recommendations of automakers.
- Rubber. When buying products for existing rubber, consider the width of the rim. Narrow or wide affects tire performance and road contact.
- Quality and the right choice. Only high-quality products can guarantee the safety of movement. Determining the composition of the metal by eye is unrealistic, and sellers do not always tell the truth. Therefore, for the purchase, it is better to contact specialized salons that are ready to provide certificates and documents. They will help you make the right choice for your car and tires.
- Manufacturer. Many companies have established themselves as a guarantor of high quality. Often, manufacturers or sellers themselves sell discs along with mounting bolts, but they may not be suitable for the machine. Also in production, the DIA (diameter of the hole for the hub) increases, which makes the product universal. You can adjust the size yourself with the help of centering adapter rings.
