Alloy wheels on a VAZ 2110: change it yourself

When a car leaves the assembly line, stamped wheels are installed on the VAZ 2110 by default. The quality of such products does not cause any particular complaints, but not everyone likes their appearance. In this connection, many motorists are wondering which wheels are better to install on a VAZ 2110 instead of their original ones. According to experts, cast models are most suitable for the top ten. They look quite attractive and will also make driving safer.

When choosing which wheels to put on a VAZ 2110, you need to figure out which model has the best characteristics for a particular region and take into account personal requirements for its appearance.

Making the right choice is quite difficult. This is due to the driver’s desire to purchase a disc with an original design, and it should be of high quality and low cost.

Brief overview of manufacturers

We provide a list of producing countries and a brief description of the products of each of them.

1. Products from China. The selection of Chinese alloy wheels is truly huge. Contrary to traditional opinion, it is worth noting that not all Chinese products are of low quality. Therefore, it would be appropriate to go shopping for wheels with a friend or acquaintance who has already purchased wheels from a certain Chinese manufacturer before and can confirm their quality.
2. Alloy wheels of domestic production are known to everyone for their affordable price and corresponding quality for the money. Alloy wheels for a Russian-made VAZ are a completely acceptable and adapted option.
3. The quality of alloy wheels from Turkey can be assessed as sufficient. However, the cost will be slightly higher than that of domestic analogues.
4. Asian manufacturers (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan) produce alloy wheels of fairly high quality and are recommended for use on all brands of cars.
5. Manufacturers from Western Europe and the USA offer the highest quality products, but also the most expensive. It’s worth thinking about whether it’s really necessary to purchase wheels for the “ten” at this price.

VAZ 2106

The most favorite car in Russia. It was produced with standard parameters - 155R13. It is allowed to install R15, but no more.

I must say that riding on large wheels will not be very comfortable. The enlarged rims will begin to touch the wheel arch, the car will bounce on potholes, and its handling will deteriorate significantly. Therefore, professionals advise against conducting such experiments. The “Six” should only wear tires recommended by the manufacturer. It is advisable to install light alloy wheels, they are much lighter than standard “stamping”.

Choice of alloy wheels

When choosing rims for a VAZ 2110 according to technical characteristics, you must take into account the following parameters:

• diameter (in inches), indicated by the letter R;
• width (in inches), indicated by the letter J;
• offset (in millimeters), indicated by the letters ET;

• size of installed tires;
• the diameter of the circle on which the centers of the fastening bolts are located, for VAZ 2110 cars it is 98 mm (denoted as PСD 4x98 for VAZ);
• the size of the central hole, it must be at least 58.5 mm in diameter.

We present the permissible indicators of diameter, width, offset and their correspondence to each other in the table:

Disc diameter in inches	Width in inches	Reach (ET), mm	Tire size, mm/%
R 13	J 5.0	35-38	155/75, 165/70
	J 5.5	35-38	175/70, 185/65
R 14	J 4.0	45	135/80
	J 5.5	35-43	165/65, 175/65, 185/60
	J 6.0	35-40	175/65, 185/60
R 15	J 6.0	30	185/55
	J 6.5	30	195/55, 195/50
	J 6.5	35	195/50, 205/50
	J 7.0	35	195/50, 205/50

It is recommended to comply with the given parameters and correspondences. Otherwise, problems will arise either of a technical nature (for example, the inability to install wheels or accelerated tire wear), or the appearance will leave much to be desired (for example, low-profile tires on R 13 rims will look untidy).

You should also pay attention to the offset (ET) of the discs you purchase. It is possible that standard mounting bolts will be short and will only capture a few threads when screwed in. In this case, you should purchase extended bolts that will securely fix the wheels.

Some car enthusiasts install R 16 rims on low-profile tires on their VAZ 2110. This car looks really impressive, as can be seen in the photo. This is where all the advantages of such tuning end. Firstly, for such an installation you need to carefully select the wheels and seriously modify the design of your car. Secondly, low-profile tires when driving on our roads require caution to avoid strong impacts to the wheel, so as not to damage the rim.

Alloy wheels for VAZ-2110 cars. Their advantages and disadvantages

In short, this product can be considered a sign of a presentable car, because AvtoVAZ supplies them only to luxury car models in stock configuration. So what should you do, run to the store for new discs to emphasize your status? There is no need to rush too much, because in addition to the rather high price for a cast structure, they also have other known disadvantages. Let's take a closer look.

Let's start with the advantages. Undoubtedly, the VAZ 2110 alloy wheels are distinguished by rich design refinements and look excellent from an aesthetic point of view. This is not their only advantage. Casting technology is not least good because it allows you to reduce the weight of wheels. This has an extremely positive effect on the car’s braking distance, handling and driving characteristics in general.

Now let's make a reservation about the price. At best, 1 alloy wheel for VAZ-2110 car models costs about 2,500 rubles. This is only an approximate price, which may vary slightly in one direction or another. Much more important is the fact that this product is most often sold in sets of 4 pieces. and it is often difficult to buy them in smaller quantities.

Although it cannot be said that the wheels on the VAZ 2110 have a very exorbitant price, the amount invested in them can be quite stinging if they fail. And they can burst very easily from any sufficiently strong blow (stamped ones in this case simply crumple). There can be only one diagnosis - replacement. And, as you already understand, changing them piece by piece can be quite problematic, and such repairs are quite expensive.

Therefore, alloy wheels cannot be considered a kind of panacea for cars of the 2110 series. If you are not chasing the maximum technical characteristics of the VAZ and are not a fan of auto tuning, then you will be quite satisfied with the factory equipment of the “tens”. If you are a fan of drive and generally a great automotive esthete, then you will probably be very interested in the following sections of the article.

Marking features

All wheel rims are marked with a special marking that reflects all the parameters. Marking must be on any products, regardless of the material from which they are made. Let us show with one example what this or that number and letter in the marking means. For example, let’s take into account the marking 7.5Jx 15 H2 5×100 ET40 d54.1:

• the first digit 7.5 shows the width of the rim in inches from one inner edge to the other;
• the Latin letter J indicates the type of rim edge; the letters B, D, K, P, JJ, JK are also often found;
• the next “x” sign indicates that the disk is non-separable, otherwise a “-” sign is placed;
• the number 15 indicates the diameter of the disc, expressed in inches;
• the H2 symbol gives an idea of ​​the shape of the protrusions for fixing tubeless rubber;
• the expression 5x100 indicates that this disk has 5 holes for mounting bolts, and the diameter of the circle on which their centers are located is 100 mm (PCD parameter);
• parameter ET40 is the size of the protrusion in millimeters;
• parameter d54.1 is the diameter of the central hole in millimeters.

If the parameters of the presented markings are compared with the table that we provided for the VAZ 2110, then we can conclude that such a disk will not fit on the VAZ. That is, understanding the meaning of the wheel markings makes it possible to buy and correctly install beautiful alloy wheels on your car.

What wheels are suitable for VAZ 2110

Many Lada models have universal basic elements characteristic of a wide variety of modifications of these cars:

VAZ 2110

• device,
• engine volume and power,
• wheelbase,
• pendant,
• braking system,
• wheels and tires.

So, depending on the modification and equipment of the vehicle with different options, the following standard parameters for these products are set at the factory:

• The bolt pattern is 4x98, which is the same for all models of the automobile concern, which means that the wheel is mounted on 4 studs of 98 mm each, as well as the drilling or diameter of the circle along which the holes for the studs are located - 58.6 mm.
• What wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2110? The simplest car configurations, regardless of the year of manufacture, were always equipped with stamped wheels in silver, white or black without decorative overlays with a dimension of 5.0J x 13 ET35, on which summer tires 175/70/R13 were put on.
• Further, all subsequent 3 trim levels with an engine capacity of 1.5 liters were equipped with wheels with dimensions of 5.0J x 14 ET35, 5.5J x 14 ET35 and 6.0J x 14 ET35, and this indicates the capacity of the wheel arches, under which with a constant offset The disk freely accommodated tires 175/65/R14, 175/65/R14 and 175/60/R14, respectively. All of the disks listed were also stamped, but already covered with caps.
• In more expensive versions with an engine capacity of 1.6 liters, wheels with an increased radius in a cast version were installed - 5.0J x 15 ET35 or 6.0J x 15 ET38 with tires 195/60/R15 and 205/55/R15.
• All new models produced by the automaker after 2005 did not use a radius greater than R15. However, in the initial version there were 2 top-end configurations of the brand, which came off the assembly line with wheels that were exclusive at that time. Thus, these cast wheels with designer grilles had parameters of 6.5J x 16 ET33 and 7.0J x 17 ET27, which corresponded to business-class foreign cars, and tires were installed in 205/50/R16 and 215/45/R17, but it could only be safely used in the summer due to its low profile.

R13 wheels for VAZ 2110

The best winter studded tires for the VAZ-2110

Studded tires will save the driver and his car from troubles when traveling on icy roads.

The best inexpensive models of such tires from domestic manufacturers are presented in our review.

Viatti Brina Nordico V-522

Description of the tire. The model received an asymmetrical pattern, in which the central longitudinal rib is shifted closer to the inside. This arrangement improves the vehicle's directional stability and promotes stable handling.

A large number of diagonal contact blocks located in the middle blocks makes for reliable braking on roads with any surface.

The tread in this model is studded along the shoulder areas. It allows you to keep the car on a slippery highway and maintain stability when changing lanes.

The entire width of the profile is covered with lamellas of different shapes and directions. Their upper parts are equipped with hard edges, with the help of which the tire tenaciously holds the car on a slippery surface.

1. Needs running in - increased noise level.

This model has good driving properties and is inexpensive, its owners note. They recommend it for purchase.

The most famous manufacturers of wheels for the VAZ 2110

It must be said that until today, when the VAZ 2110 was replaced by many more modern models, such as the Lada Vesta, X-Ray, Kalina, Priora and some other cars, the dimensions of the rims have changed little, and the bolt pattern and drilling remained identical. That is why all the rims produced for installation on newer versions are ideal for the “Ten”, with the rare exception when it comes to a model such as the “Niva”. Thus, among the most well-known market participants, the following well-known manufacturers of stamped, cast and forged wheels for this model can be identified:

• The undoubted leader among these enterprises is the Russian concern KiK, which has been producing wheels for Lada and many other brands for a quarter of a century. The peculiarity of the brand is that all light alloy products are produced only in casting with various design options. Any car enthusiast can find among the company’s assortment the entire size range indicated above, and the most popular series of the brand are “Attica”, “Arcade”, “Bering”, “Blade”, “Iguana”, “Mirel” and other models.

R14 wheels for VAZ 2110

• The second equally well-known manufacturer is also domestic, producing sports-style wheels with many curved spokes in various colors, including chrome. The brand is based on the Institute of Light Alloys and has its own technologies and equipment that guarantee ideal quality and reasonable prices.
• The next popular brand based in Russia is SKAD. All products of the Krasnoyarsk plant comply with international standards and work hard for export, and the quality is confirmed by the results of numerous tests, for which there are corresponding certificates. The company's design solutions for disks are offered in a very limited range, but at the same time, the mass nature of the model makes it possible to set a minimum price for them, which cannot but please the consumer. The range of radial sizes for products of this brand varies from R13 to R20.
• , operating in the Russian Federation for almost 30 years, founded by professional racers, produces a huge number of different product options, ranging from the classic 5-spoke design to exclusive wheels. A wide range of sizes allows motorists to choose a product for any purpose, from high-speed driving to off-road driving.
• The last company on the list is the Siberian brand IFree, which entered the market only in 2010, but has managed to gain great popularity. To occupy the desired niche in a period of high competition, manufacturers carefully developed various wheel designs, monitored quality and always tried to reduce the cost of their products. Thus, the brand gained popularity in the first years, and today it only continues to grow, and the manufacturer receives more and more positive reviews from numerous satisfied customers.

Features of disk sizes for “Ten”

The product dimensions listed above are ideal for the VAZ 2110, however, some climatic, operational and other external factors that may affect the operation of the car should be taken into account. All disc features for each radius offered by the manufacturer:

• Wheels on the VAZ 2110 are size 14 - a small wheel radius, typical for simple configurations or for economical drivers who install them to reduce costs. Most often found on the market in a stamped version, however, inexpensive and high-quality specimens can also be found in casting. Starting with a rim width of 6.0J, the wheels are ideal for installing winter tires, since the profile height of 60...65 mm guarantees reliable grip on the side surface of the tire even in deep snowdrifts.
• Wheels 15 by 2110 are the most universal size, at which the driver can safely install high-quality all-season tires and forget about changing wheels every six months for at least several years, depending on the driving style and the annual mileage of the car.

R16 wheels for VAZ 2110

• R16 - most often installed in a cast or forged version for comfortable driving around the city. The tire profile of 55 mm is sufficient for both dynamic driving on smooth asphalt and short trips outside the city on unpaved surfaces.
• R17 - for the VAZ 2110 are exclusive products that are installed exclusively for high-speed driving on high-quality roads. In the cold season, it is better to get another set of rims, since the cross-sectional height of a tire of 45 mm is not enough for safe driving on slippery surfaces.

When choosing wheels, it is important for the owners of the “Ten” to follow the factory parameters of the ET offset from 27 to 35 mm, since otherwise the wheels may touch the wheel arches, calipers or suspension elements, and also if the car owner purchases steel wheels for 2110 with zero or negative departure, then he needs to be prepared for rapid contamination of the side of the body of his “iron horse”.

By adhering to the geometric characteristics of the wheels specified by the manufacturer and choosing only trusted suppliers, any driver can be confident in the long and safe operation of his “Ten”. Also, when changing disks, the driver must remember that, while remaining in the same size and model, you should not buy only one wheel, and experts advise changing them in pairs or all at the same time, so that uneven wear does not affect the suspension imbalance.

As a standard, the plant installs stamped wheels on the VAZ 2110 car. Their quality is more or less normal, however, their appearance leaves much to be desired.

To stand out from the gray mass, experts recommend installing alloy wheels on the VAZ 2110. This will not only improve the appearance of the car, but will also have a positive effect on safety.

Photos of alloy wheels on the top ten

Choosing alloy wheels for the top ten is not very easy. The problem lies in approximately the same thing - each client is looking for the most interesting design from his point of view, which is combined with high quality and an affordable price.

The external parameter is a secondary issue in casting selection. First think about safety and product quality. And nothing else. Each set has the appropriate quality, composition and size. That's why the choice becomes more complicated.

Installation of R16 on VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

1:502
Race Ready CSS155 wheels were purchased with the following parameters: R16 7J ET35 4×98/4×100 (R16 – disk diameter; 7J – disk width; ET35 – disk offset; 4×98/4×100 – bolt pattern). And also summer tires with parameters 205/45/R16.

1:826

2:1331

3:1836

When I was looking for information about installing R16 on a VAZ 2110-2112, I found practically nothing worthwhile, only 1-2 entries where everything was described in detail.

3:2098

Why did you choose 7J wide wheels and not 6.5J or 6J? Initially, I couldn’t decide which tires to take: 205/45/R16 or 195/45/R16. When purchasing tires with parameters 195/45/R16, these tires will fit smoothly on wheels with a width of 6.5J, and on wheels with a width of 7J with a small house. And when you buy tires with parameters 205/45/R16, these tires will fit on wheels with a width of 6.5J “donut” - with the rubber protruding outward (which I categorically did not want) and on wheels with a width of 7J, tires with these parameters will fit smoothly, without a house and without convexity outward. Therefore, I chose 7J wide wheels, which gives me the opportunity to install both 195/45/R16 and 205/45/R16 tires without losing their appearance.

3:1157

Now I want to provide my comparison of tires with parameters 205/45/R16 and with parameters 195/45/R16:

3:1326

1. Rubber with parameters 195/45 is lower than 205/45, therefore, tires with parameters 195/45 will look better, but the ride will be harsher due to the lower profile and due to higher tire pressure, and tires with parameters 205/ 45 will look a little worse (slightly) due to the larger profile, but the ride will be correspondingly more comfortable.

3:1922

2. Tires with parameters 205/45 are wider than 195/45, therefore, on tires with parameters 205/45 it will be more comfortable due to the width, but it will be harder to turn the steering wheel, also due to the width, and on tires with parameters 195/45 everything will be fine, accordingly, on the contrary: the ride is a little stiffer, the steering wheel is easier to turn.

3:2414

3. Rubber with parameters 195/45 is lighter than rubber with parameters 205/45, therefore, with tires 195/45 there is less load on the wheel bearings, less loss in dynamics, less consumption, but the rubber itself plays a big role here, not the parameters, t Because depending on the company, even tires with parameters 205/45 can be lighter than rubber with parameters 195/45.

3:601

4. Tires with parameters 195/45 on wheels with a width of 7J will fit a little like a house, in contrast to tires with parameters 205/45, which will fit flush. Consequently, tires with parameters 195/45, which will stand up a little like a house, will look better, but there is a greater chance of damaging the disc if it gets into a hole, and with tires 205/45 this probability is less.

3:1211

5. It is easier to install tires with parameters 195/45 on a VAZ than 205/45. Fewer or no modifications will be required (depending on suspension configuration).

3:1509

6. With 205/45 tires, the car will be higher than with 195/45 tires, but not significantly. So, if compared with standard wheels 185/60/R14, then a wheel with 195/45 tires will be larger in diameter by 4 mm, i.e. the car will become higher by approximately 2 mm (depending on the company and the condition of the tires), and the wheel with 205/45 tires it will be 12 mm larger in diameter than a standard wheel, i.e. the car will become approximately 6 mm higher (also, a lot depends on the company and the condition of the tires). According to my measurements, after switching from 185/60/R14 wheels to 205/45/R16 wheels (tires in both are used, the balance is 80%), the car became higher by approximately 6-9 mm.

3:2566

The choice fell on tires with parameters 205/45/R16, because for now there is only one car, and our roads are simply terrible, driving on them is a real challenge. If I only drove around the city, I would take tires with parameters 195/45/R16, because in the city it’s still tolerable. But based on the fact that the car is still used for everyday use and for driving on the highway, it would be more reasonable to start with higher tires (i.e. 205/45). But I always have the opportunity to install 195/45 tires, as I wrote about above.

3:805

Next I will write about the problems that I had when installing sixteenth wheels on 205/45/R16 tires. At the same time, it would be appropriate to point out those elements of my suspension that may affect the installation of sixteenth disks. This:

3:1218

— Bilstein gas-oil shock absorbers with standard rod length; — fenders SS-20 (standard length) 2110; — “Technospring” springs with a lowering of 30 mm; — castor (stand angle) 0.30 (planned to increase to 1.30); — front wheel camber 0.30 (factory); — negative camber of the rear wheels 1 degree.

3:1762

Now let's return to the problems that arose immediately after installation. At the same time, I will describe the problems associated with the width of the 7J wheels and the tire parameters 205/45. Installing other tires or other wheels is not considered as a solution to problems, since this post is a mini-tutorial for those who will install wheels with the same parameters as I chose. Okay, enough digressions, let's move on to the problems:

3:2514

1. On bumps and turns, the rear wheels rustled against the flanging of the rear arches, while the wheel on the side of the gas tank neck rustled more, which is associated with the displacement of the beam. It is treated by cutting half or 2/3 of the edge of the arch.

3:410

2. When banking on corners at low speed, the rear wheel, the one on the driver’s side, rustled a little against the spring cup, although in a standing position the distance from the wheel to the spring cup was 5-8 mm. Most likely, this is also due to the displacement of the beam towards the other wheel, and to tired silent blocks of the rear beam. It can be treated by filing the spring cup, or raising it higher (I have the opportunity to move the spring cup 1 cm up on the Bilstein rear shock absorbers, but I didn’t do this), as well as by replacing the silent blocks of the rear beam. Personally, I haven’t changed the silent blocks yet, but for now I just cut the sound insulator of the spring cup and sharpened the spring cup a little, and the shuffling almost stopped.

3:1716

3. When turning the steering wheel to its extreme positions, the steering wheel does not turn completely, and the wheels rustle against the side members, while the wheel on the driver’s side rustles less. Treated with spacers. I installed 6mm spacers. As a result, the front wheel on the driver’s side has stopped shuffling, and the front wheel on the passenger side is shuffling, but the steering wheel is already turned almost all the way. With the above wheel width, disc offset and 6 mm spacers, the wheels sit in the arches and do not throw up the body. I would also like to note that the view has become much better than with factory-sized wheels recessed inside.

3:2841

4. Also, during intensive braking (within reason) from speed, the wheels shifted slightly towards the doors and, accordingly, rustled against the sills, arch linings and factory fender liners. This problem can be treated by increasing the castor and replacing the silent blocks of the cross member (hinges of the lower control arms). How I dealt with this problem, I wrote in a previous blog post. But if your castor is normal (at least 0.30 degrees) and the silent blocks are not worn out, then this problem most likely will not arise.

3:889

As for the pros and cons of installing sixteenth wheels with 205/45 tires, most have an idea about this, even without installation.

3:1147

Cons: 1) faster wear of suspension elements on our “roads”; 2) driving over uneven surfaces becomes harsher, hence the loss in comfort; 3) it’s harder to turn the steering wheel (I almost didn’t notice); 4) increase in consumption, loss in dynamics (virtually not noticed); 5) more expensive tires than on factory wheels; 6) great care is required on the road so as not to damage the tires and wheels; 7) some work is required for installation; faster pad wear. Pros: 1) controllability; 2) appearance, which more than covers all the disadvantages))

3:2140

Now I’ll point out my personal feelings after installing sixteenth wheels on 205/45 tires:

3:165

1. It became tougher, but not much, I thought it would be tougher. Just right for driving around the city and on a good highway. On some bumps it has become even softer, because the wheel has increased in diameter, and over some small bumps, joints, cracks, into which I had previously fallen with a wheel of a smaller diameter, I now drive more softly, rolling over the bump and not falling into it;

3:816

2. Surprisingly, no matter how much I drive, the consumption has practically not increased (maybe only in the city), despite the fact that the previous 14 wheels weighed approximately 13 kg, and the new sixteenth wheels weighed approximately 16 kg (disc - 7.8 kg, tires 7.9-8 kg). There is no BC yet, so I calculated the consumption myself, the driving mode is mixed. Highway consumption: 5.5–7 liters per 100 km. City consumption: 8-9.5 liters per 100 km.

3:1456

3. Due to the low profile and width of the tires, handling has become much better, especially in turns, and also when you sharply steer around potholes.

3:1728

4. The view, of course, has changed significantly for the better. I agree with Henry Ford’s statement “80% of the beauty of a car is in its wheels.” Of course, I could write here for a long time about how much I admired the new appearance, but I think that would be unnecessary.

3:2176

5. Also, I was very surprised that the steering wheel practically did not turn harder, which I was afraid of, at 205 width.

3:191

6. The dynamics, in principle, practically remained at the same level, maybe they got a little worse (I don’t understand yet).

3:377

7. Now, in my opinion, when braking, you have to put more force on the brake pedal, but in my driving mode, with 14 ventilated discs, there are enough brakes, but if there are 13 non-ventilated discs, then, in my opinion, The brakes need to be improved.

3:845

8. When braking sharply, the car stops rooted to the spot and practically does not skid even on wet asphalt, but, of course, a lot depends on the road surface, weather conditions and speed. I have not used it in extreme conditions yet.

3:1275

9. With sharp acceleration, the axle box almost disappeared. Even if it exists, it is not as long as on factory wheels.

As for tire inflation, I was guided by this table. The front is 2.4, the rear is 2.3, because the rear is lighter.

I wanted to switch to studs first, but then decided to stick with bolts for now. Installing discs on bolts, in principle, does not cause me any inconvenience, and I don’t remove wheels very often. If there are centering rings, then no problems arise. By the way, the bolts and sockets for these discs need different ones (ordinary ones won’t work), for narrow holes.

Why do I write so much and in detail? As I already wrote at the beginning, before purchasing and installing, I found very little detailed and useful information on this matter, and therefore I decided on my own, to help those who are going to install sixteenth wheels on a VAZ, and in particular on 2110-2112.

I think this is where I will end this long and tedious, but useful for some, post. If I have not indicated something essential, or if you have questions, please write. I will also repeat that those who think that this idea of ​​installing sixteenth wheels on a VAZ is pointless, then pass by, because I understand that for some, a car is just a means of transportation, where everything that costs is better and more durable from the factory (with which I practically agree, but not in everything), but for some it’s something more. Personally, I will later buy a car from a foreign manufacturer for everyday driving, where there will be no major modifications, and the 2112 will be left for cruising and for building a turbo engine.

Advantages of casting

The strengths of casting include:

• Lightness of design;
• Simultaneous strength of the product;
• High corrosion resistance;
• Positive impact on dynamics, since the total weight of wheels when using alloy wheels is reduced by 15-20 percent when compared with stamped ones;
• Effective thermal conductivity removes heat energy well from the brake pads;
• Attractive appearance.

But be careful while driving, as alloy wheels are extremely discreet. If you drive carelessly into a hole, the disc will be damaged. Whether to restore it or buy a new one depends on the severity of the “injury.”

Pros and cons of “stampings”

The big advantage of stamped steel wheels is that they are stronger, withstand a more aggressive driving style, and are better suited to the quality of our roads.

Plus, they are manufactured by domestic manufacturers, which has a positive effect on pricing. Another advantage is the ease of repairing a damaged stamped roller.

Alloy wheels

The choice in their favor is explained by many factors, including quality and pleasant appearance. You don't even need to tune the wheels.

What you need to know about alloy wheels? Let's try to figure it out.

1. Light alloy rollers may contain aluminum and magnesium. They are divided into forged and cast.
2. Alloy wheels are quite good, but have a serious drawback caused by the poor quality of our roads. Their structure is granular, which leads to rapid destruction when driving. Over time, small cracks form on the surface of the “casting,” which develop into large cracks.
3. Forged wheels do not have such a drawback; they cope well with overcoming our roads. If the casting bursts, then the forged rollers bend. Hence the security of the latter is higher. Plus, less weight and non-corrosion speaks in favor of forged options.
4. The main disadvantage of forged ones is their high cost. Some wheel models cost almost half of your VAZ 2110. And in terms of design, the range is not particularly pleasing. For the “ten”, mostly the same type of models is offered.

Alloy wheels and everything about them

Alloy wheel VAZ 2110

Probably, many car owners have encountered the problem of selecting alloy wheels for a VAZ 2110. Despite the fact that both cast and forged wheels are in great demand among motorists, it is still not always possible to find them. The fact is that it is very difficult to ensure that the car owner is satisfied with both the design and quality of such products.

Note. Beauty is only a secondary criterion by which wheels are selected; first of all, you need to think about safety when driving on the road.

Advantages of alloy wheels

Alloy wheel for VAZ 2110

Choosing alloy wheels is a rather serious matter. Wheels differ in quality, composition and size. Alloy wheels have many advantages. The main advantage of alloy wheels, despite their lightweight design, is their strength and high corrosion resistance. But such discs require careful driving. If you fall into a hole, you can damage the disk, after which it will have to be restored. Thanks to the physical properties of such discs, the total weight of the wheel is reduced by 10-20 percent. This has a great effect on the dynamics of the car. Due to increased thermal conductivity, a more efficient removal of heat energy from the brake pads is provided. Their appearance is also a big plus. For many car owners, this indicator is decisive. The magnificent appearance allows you to emphasize the individuality of the car and the status of the car owner.

Disadvantages of stamped discs

Stamped steel disc

On the contrary, steel wheels can easily withstand any test. They are stamped and installed by domestic car production/assembly plants and are quite cheap. In addition, it is quite easy to restore the original appearance of steel wheels if they are damaged. But the main reason why car owners refuse such wheels is their outdated design, which spoils the overall appearance of the car. Also, these discs are quite heavy and rust quickly.

Note. The large weight of steel wheels can affect speed, which, of course, is not suitable for drivers who like to ride “with the breeze.”

Alloy wheels VAZ 2110

You should also know that the width and diameter of the disc affect the ease of driving the vehicle. Therefore, it is recommended to choose wide rims, because they are as comfortable as possible while driving. Wheel rims affect fuel consumption and the durability of the vehicle's transmission. If all the nuances are observed, you can pay attention to beauty.

Forged alloy wheels

In this sense, alloy wheels are an excellent choice, as they are aesthetically pleasing, high-quality, and give the car an original look. Even in the absence of external tuning, and with alloy wheels, the appearance of the car can change greatly.

Note. If the car is pumped to the last squeak, but regular or overhead caps are installed on it, then all the work here will be in vain.

So:

• Alloy wheels contain aluminum and magnesium. They are divided into cast and forged. Alloy wheels are good, however, they have some disadvantages. Our roads are imperfect, so durable wheels are needed, and the casting has a grainy structure. Such discs can easily become covered with small cracks, which in the future can cause the formation of one large crack.
• Forged wheels do not have this drawback; they are strong enough and designed for our roads. This type of disc is used in rallies, autocross and other motor sports. Cast wheels can burst, while forged wheels can bend, which increases safety. Their weight is significantly less and they do not corrode.
• But this also has its drawbacks. The most important disadvantage is the prohibitive cost of the disc, which in some cases is compared to half the cost of the vehicle. In addition, the not very rich assortment of designs is not pleasing; as a rule, they are of the same type, so there is no choice.

What you need to know about disks

Today castings are produced in a fairly wide range. The VAZ 2110 fits wheels with a radius of 13 inches, although it is quite possible to drive an R15.

When installing non-original wheels, think about the offset and width. Their parameters must comply with the standards laid down by the manufacturer of the “tens”.

Disc diameter	Width	Departure	Size
R13	J 5.0	35-38	155/75, 165/70
	J 5.5	35-38	175/70, 185/65
R14	J 4.0	45	135/80
	J 5.5	35-43	165/65, 175/65, 185/60
	J 6.0	35-40	175/65, 185/60
R15	J 6.0	30	185/55
	J 6.5	30	195/55, 195/50
	J 6.5	35	195/50, 205/50
	J 7.0	35	195/50, 205/50

If you violate the recommendations, when turning and under maximum loads (full trunk, full passenger compartment), the wheels will begin to rub against the fender liners, touching the arches and suspension. Plus, the side parts of the body will always get splashed in dirty weather.

1. When installing 15-inch alloy wheels, use only low-profile tires, otherwise nothing will work.
2. If you want to install even larger wheels, you will need to make changes to the design of the car itself. And this is already a difficult task.
3. When a VAZ 2110 car owner chooses cast rollers, he often comes across such a characteristic as PSD 4*98. He says that the disk is fastened with four bolts that fit into the circle R98 .

What size alloy wheels and tires can be installed on VAZ cars?

The most popular size of alloy wheels on VAZ cars are wheels with a diameter of 14 inches (R14). However, when installing wheels with a diameter different from the factory ones, you must comply with the width and offset set by the car manufacturer. If these parameters are significantly exceeded, then in turns and when the car is fully loaded, the protruding wheels will constantly rub against the fender liners, touching the wheel arches and parts of the car’s suspension.

On Samaras (VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099) difficulties often arise with the rear wheels - enlarged wheels quite often “conflict” with the wheel arches and elements of the car’s suspension. Therefore, before purchasing, you should make sure that the sizes of alloy wheels you have chosen will not cause problems after they are installed on the car.

Normal and fairly wide alloy wheels on the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099 can be, for example, 6 inches wide (J6.0) with an offset (indicated by ET) of 35-40 mm . For such wheels, standard VAZ 2110 tires (size 175/65 R14) are suitable, but tires with a width of 165 or 185 millimeters are also acceptable.

Explanation of symbols on tires and wheels can be found here:

1. Decoding the markings of wheel rims.
2. Decoding the markings of car tires.

In addition, the “eights” and “nines” can be equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels with low-profile tires. But then the offset should be within 30-35 mm, and the tires, for example, should be 185/55 R15 or 195/50 R15. Installation of tires of size 195/55 R15 or 205/50 R15 is possible only on the front axle, because rear wheels with this diameter will require additional modifications to the suspension and wheel arches.

tires of sizes 185/60 R14 and 195/50 R15 performed best on alloy wheels installed on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21093, 21099 vehicles . But this does not mean at all that other combinations of alloy wheel and tire sizes are not suitable for your VAZ.

It will also be useful to know that for all VAZ alloy wheels in the catalogs there is such a parameter as PSD 4x98 . It means that four bolts inscribed in a circle with a diameter of 98 millimeters are used to secure the wheel rim to the hub. And the diameter of the central hole of all alloy wheels on a VAZ must be at least 58.5 millimeters.

Changing wheels

During operation, alloy wheels can be damaged, so they need to be restored or replaced with new ones.

Alas, the peculiarity of “casting” is that if the damage is severe enough, it is not possible to restore it. And it is not always advisable to try to restore the rollers, since this procedure can be even more expensive than buying a new set.

Please note that aggressive driving through holes and potholes is dangerous not only for the wheels themselves, but also for the suspension. After all, during an impact, all its energy is transferred through the disk to the suspension. This is not typical for stamped steel analogues. They themselves are deformed, but do not harm the suspension.

Damage to stamping

It is recommended to replace a damaged disk at a service station that is equipped with special equipment. The wheel may get stuck, and it will be impossible to remove it manually in your garage.

Contact a workshop for restoring skating rinks. Ask how much this procedure will cost and estimate the cost of a new kit. This way you will understand what is best to do in your particular case. Self-recovery is impossible for the simple reason that it requires appropriate experience, tools and expensive equipment. There is no point in purchasing it for a one-time restoration.

Replacing alloy wheels

VAZ 2110 on alloy wheels

During operation, alloy wheels can become damaged, which requires their restoration or replacement. The main disadvantage of alloy wheels is that once deformed, they are almost impossible to restore. More precisely, the cost of restoring deformed products is much higher than the cost of new ones, which makes restoration impractical. Another drawback is noticeable during impacts. All impact energy is transferred by the discs to the suspension, which negatively affects it.

Note. The steel of stamped discs simply deforms during impacts, thus protecting the suspension.

Replacing alloy wheels is carried out only in car repair shops, because this procedure requires a special installation that allows you to remove and install the wheels. Discs that are deformed or damaged are also restored in specialized workshops. To carry out such work, experience, special tools and equipment are required.

Do-it-yourself tuning of alloy wheels

Do-it-yourself tuning of alloy wheels

Currently, after installing disks, their tuning is popular.
Discs can be painted and a variety of patterns and designs can be applied to them. You can also decorate the discs with lighting. This will highlight and decorate the car, making it unique and original. In addition, if you have enough money, you can order alloy wheels according to your design. These are handled by specialized companies. By contacting such a company, you can make alloy wheels of the desired shape and with certain features. This video tutorial will help you get acquainted with the process of tuning alloy wheels in general. You can learn how to paint and change the design of disks using photos or pictures downloaded from the Internet. You can do a lot of things with your own hands. You just need to follow the advice given in the instructions and you can save a lot of money, because the price for services of this type in the services is quite high and not everyone can afford it.

Tuning

Many VAZ 2110 owners do not spare money on tuning their car. Tuned rims can become a real decoration for a domestically produced vehicle.

There are a lot of options for how to decorate the disks.

1. Paint them in a variety of unique colors, make a combination of 2 or more colors.
2. Apply patterns and interesting drawings to the discs.
3. Equipping the wheels with LED lighting will make your trips around the city in the evening even more spectacular and will make others pay attention to your car.
4. If finances allow, order wheels with an individual design developed by you. Many companies provide such services.

But still remember that in the case of wheels on a VAZ 2110, their quality should play a primary role. Appearance is a secondary selection criterion. In no case is it the other way around. The current assortment is wide enough to find a set that will meet your aesthetic requirements and meet the standards of quality and reliability.

VAZ 2114

Tires of two sizes are relevant for the hatchback: R13, R14. Full details can be found in the technical manual. The optimal size is considered to be R13. In summer, such models are completely safe.

R14 tires are considered more suitable for winter. Tires with dimensions 175/65 can be considered an ideal option for driving on snowy roads, as well as icy tracks.

When choosing, be sure to take into account the width of the tire. It will not allow the car to “drown” in the snow; it will only be pushed to a certain depth.

Factory wheel parameters depend on the vehicle configuration. They can be standard or slightly enlarged:

• 175/65R14,
• 175/70R13,
• 185/60R14.

For such tires, wheels on the VAZ 2114 are suitable 14.4x98. Moreover, their width is selected according to the size of the tire. Usually it is in the range of 5-6.

If R15 are installed, the wheels must be 6.0/6.5x15 4x98. For R16 tires – 6.5x16 4x98.
