Should I Replace One Nissan OEM Wheel Or Buy A Set Of Aftermarket Wheels?
Does your Nissan have a damaged wheel that need replacing? You may be asking a few questions, such as:
- Should I replace only the damaged wheel?
- Should I replace all my wheels?
- Should I get an OEM or aftermarket replacement wheel?
We can answer those questions for you! Unlike with shocks, you don't need to replace your wheels in pairs or sets. So you have the option of replacing only the bad wheel with an OEM wheel or you can replace all four wheels with an aftermarket set.
In this article, we'll discuss why it is always a better idea to replace one wheel rather than buying a set of aftermarket wheels.
1. It's Cheaper To Replace Only One OEM Wheel
The cost of four aftermarket wheels generally works out to be more than the cost of one OEM wheel. You can save even more money on an OEM wheel by ordering one from us. We offer wholesale pricing on all OEM Nissan parts, including wheels. That means you'll save about 30% off regular price.
2. OEM Wheels Are Genuine Nissan Parts
Aftermarket wheels are not always made to the same standards as OEM wheels. In fact, some aftermarket wheels may not even fit your Nissan properly. This can cause alignment and balance problems, which can lead to further damage to your vehicle. With OEM wheels, you can be sure that they will fit your vehicle perfectly and that they are made to the same high standards as the original wheels.
3. OEM Wheels Are Backed By Nissan's Warranty
If you have any problems with an OEM wheel, you can take it to your nearest Nissan dealership and have it replaced under warranty. This is not always the case with aftermarket wheels. Aftermarket parts rarely come with a warranty.
4. Replacing One OEM Wheel Creates Less Waste Than Replacing All Four Wheels
If the other three wheels on your car are still in good shape, then what's the point in replacing them? It's pretty wasteful to replace all four wheels when you only need to replace one. Replacing only the bad wheel will help you to cut down on waste and save the environment.
There Are Ways To Spruce Up Your Wheels
There's only one advantage to replacing all four wheels with aftermarket wheels. It's the fact that you can upgrade to a different look. Yet, you can do that with OEM wheels by making small modifications, such as:
- Installing new wheel center caps
- Installing rim protectors such as All-Fit Rim Trim
- Painting your wheels a different color
There are plenty of other ways to customize your wheels without having to replace them all with aftermarket wheels.
In conclusion, it is always a better idea to replace your wheel with an OEM replacement wheel rather than buying a set of aftermarket wheels.
