Why don't they just put the measurement numbers on the rims?

[jdm]

Thanks a lot, I was so confused about this and couldn’t find much information about it that made sense

[Murdock]

Finally! Someone explaing this properly for a layman and not assuming people should just know. Big thanks

[saby]

Please make a similar measuring video, but for a car wheelwell, front as well as back, how can we get the idea of fitment from the car.

Thanks a million. Been watching too many videos that measure the diameter and width incorrectly. You got it right and explained it very clearly. Great job!

Hi, can you do a segment on color/finish differences? ie. hyper silver vs machined silver, hyper black vs black chrome, polished vs chrome, etc. I know I can google it but sometimes it's difficult to tell by photos because of different lighting.

Dude, seconds in I already learned something...great video! Thanks.

Can you make a video going over your choices for rims in the 500 range? I’m trying to look stylish but not curb 2k rims at a drift event

Am I able to measure width without removing my tire? I've asked 3 tire shops now to check my width when getting my tires changed and none of them have told me

[crunkprince]

Thank you. I was about to buy the wrong wheel.

[Adamthebuilder]

Great video man! I learned something new about how to properly measure my wheels🤙🏻

[HumblyDriven]

That color is amazing I wanted that color for my car, but people here are using it too much so I have to find another color. Amazing video.

I have a 03 Buick Regal GS and am having trouble finding the right wheel size and fitment any help???

[VS]

damn those wheels are beautiful. lol backspacing i can honestly say ive never had to consider that measurement

[redjenking]

some online wheels usually give measurement of wheels like (for example) 15x8jj where 15 is the diameter but i usually confuse the the '8jj' is for what..? is it for 8 inch width or 8 inch backspacing?

[Primane]

you measure width to the inside of the bead lip, but backspacing to the outside of the lip. Is that right?

[NGRosales]

Thanks for this

I’ll bother this year getting some and I was kinda guessing how you get those

[KevinArmstrong]

Excellent video, just ordered a spare alloy from eBay and was about to give the seller grief, turns out all fine on diameter

[miguelgonzalez-lptw]

How the concave of some wheels seems deeper than other do u measure the concave of a wheel?
