MINT Wheels wants to provide you with an easy guide to Customizing Your Ride. Last week we covered Part One and this week we reveal Part Two:

5- Incorporate your personality

In your efforts to set your car apart, your best weapon is yourself. Infuse the unique elements of your personality into your customization.  Like we said before, we can personalize your wheels with company logos, monograms or color preferences, so that they’re MINTed exactly to your liking.

6- Accommodate luxury

Few of us have the budgets of a Shaq or a Rickey Henderson. But that doesn't mean that we should deprive ourselves of small luxuries entirely. For example, if you're a music fanatic, make that extra investment for a good sound system -- the pleasure that it adds to your drives will prove worthwhile.

7- Don't be scared to be subtle

Flash isn't everyone's style; some prefer a smoother approach. Many people equate customization with excess, and let themselves get lured into luxurious accessories that they may not really want. If subtlety is your thing, embrace it.  Our product will compliment your vehicle and help you achieve your desired look.

8- Keep it functional

Your ideal custom job will be unique, comfortable, accommodating, and reflective of your personality and lifestyle. But don't lose sight of the forest for the trees: Your car is there to get you from one place to another safely.   At MINT Wheels, we as committed to safety and quality as we are to style.  Translation:  You will be safe and look good all at once!

You claim to be manly, but driving a pink mini-car or a soccer-mom van tells another story.  Actions speak louder than words, and what you drive says more about you than apparel ever could. What’s more, certain types of rides frequently appeal to certain demographics -- to the extent that you could classify the drivers and their rides of choice after giving either the once over.

At MINT Wheels we want to make sure that what your car is saying about you is the case.  Give us a call to discuss how we can help you project the image you'd like (888) 379-6468 (MINT).

When choosing a wheel, make sure it fits your car's bolt pattern. That pattern is expressed as an equation of two numbers: the number of wheel lugs or bolts on the hub times the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the center of those lugs. So a 4x100mm bolt pattern means you have four lugs that span a distance of 100 mm.

Offset describes the relationship of the wheel's centerline to the location of the mount pad, which is where the wheel bolts to the hub. This is typically expressed in millimeters. Front-wheel-drive (and newer rear-wheel-drive) cars generally have wheels with positive offset, which means the mount pad is towards the outside of the wheel. A wheel with negative offset means the mount pad is positioned inboard from the centerline.

At Mint Wheels we understand that proper offset is critical when fitting a new set of wheels, as it affects everything from your vehicle's handling to wheel and tire clearance of fenders, brake calipers, and chassis components.  We specialize in handcrafting and custom fitting our wheels to perfectly fit your vehicle- no hassles, no spacers, just the perfect combination of function and form.  Our exclusive line of wheels can be made to order for any application.
