What do OEM rims mean?
Other terms used interchangeably for OEM wheels are stock rims, factory wheel, and more loosely, take-off wheel. OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. OEM wheel manufacturers produce specific stock rims for every vehicle model and almost always there is more than one option. Whereas OEM wheels prioritize cost-effectiveness, safety, and mass production, this can lead to limitations in terms of materials, design options, and customization. Aftermarket wheels, on the other hand, provide drivers with an entire world of custom options to choose from when outfitting a car.It depends! In theory, OEM tires should not wear out faster than aftermarket tires of the same model. However, some drivers have noticed that their OEM tires have a shorter lifespan than their replacements, speculating that OEM tires prioritize fuel economy and handling over tread life.Higher Cost: OEM wheels tend to be more expensive than aftermarket options due to their brand name, quality assurance, and exclusivity. Limited Variety: Since OEM wheels are designed for specific vehicle models, there may be limited options in terms of design, finish, and customization.
