Rims are sometimes treated with utmost attention by car owners who want to impress from the point of view of the car’s visual appearance, and sometimes they are put in the “and other” category of the secondary components of a car.
The approach of a car driver should be a balanced one, taking into account that rims have both an essential role in the movement, being essential components of the vehicle’s undercarriage, as well as an aesthetic role, adding or completing the overall looks of a car according to the style each driver approaches it individually.
How Much Do Rucci Rims Cost?
Rucci rims cost, on average, anywhere between $700 and $900. These rims come in different sizes, ranging from 20 to 32 inches, and in piece formats two and three. Though, Ruci rims feature 16 styles, that are great for all cars, like exotic and high passenger vehicles, passenger vehicles, and SUVs.
Rucci offers a huge selection of different types of rims, that range from classic and custom to forged and racing. Each of these comes at a different price.
Factors affecting the cost of Rucci rims
There are many important factors you need to take into consideration before you purchase Rucci rims:
Offset
It is the distance that separates the bearing surface of the disc from the center of the rim. The offset is important because it defines the position of the rim in relation to the axle. Too much offset and the rim risks touching the inside of the axle and the brake system. Too little offset and the rim will stick out and touch the body. The ideal offset depends on each individual vehicle.
Backspacing
Backspacing is almost the same as the offset. Though, backspacing relies on the standard width of the wheel. The backspacing is the stretch from the wheel’s inside lip to the mounting surface.
Width
Usually, tire manufacturers recommend a range of wheel widths for every tire. In general, it is recommended by the manufacturers to buy a narrower wheel than the tire by two to three inches.

It is good to remember that the width of the rim is measured from one edge to the other and the numerical result is expressed in inches. Thus, 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm, which means, for example, that for a rim of 7 inches inner width, you could go for tires with a width of 205 mm or 215 mm – these dimensions being optimal.
Center bore
The center bore is the hole located in the middle of the wheel. It will be bigger if the bolt pattern is bigger. The center bore is crucial when fitting over-locking hubs and full-floating axles. So, you should check the center bore before purchasing Rucci rims.
Load rating
Usually, both wheels and tires are load rated. The wheel construction and the bolt pattern are responsible for load rating.
Bead seat
The tire’s bead seat is maintained by the wheel’s bead seat with the assistance of air pressure. You will likely experience reduced air pressure if the seat bead is taller and wider. This means that you can comfortably ride your car without worrying that the tire will get off the wheel.
Diameter
Once you have found out the dimensions of the rims suitable for your car, the next step is to inform yourself as accurately as possible about the dimensions of the tires that you will be able to mount on the model you have decided on.
When you visit a tire store, it is advisable to already know what sizes you are looking for and whether you need summer tires, winter tires, or multifunctional all-season tires because choosing tires that are not suitable for the type and size of rims you own it is not recommended for reasons related to traffic safety, as well as because the tires will deteriorate much faster.
