18 inch chrome wheels are used by those who really want to set their ride apart. Too big for use in smaller cars, 18 inch rims are the realm of larger cars, SUVs, and trucks. It is important when shopping for rims to know what your lug configuration is. If you buy a five lug wheel when your car sports four or six, you’ll be out of luck.

The use of 18 inch chrome wheels in cars can usually only be accomplished with the help of low profile tires. These tires are extremely thin, sporting an inch, or sometimes even less, of side wall. This will make for a dramatic look, but also for a rougher ride. Low profile tires hold less air, which gives you less of a cushion against potholes and other bumps.

If you are looking for truck wheels, 18 inch chrome wheels are a good place to start. Unlike cars which must sometimes be modified to fit an 18 inch rim, trucks usually ship with this wheel on them already. Because of this 18 inch rims for trucks are less expensive than identically sized rims for a car.
