A wheel is a circular metal frame with spokes or a solid disc mounted on a hub. There are 3 basic components of a wheel-hub, spoke, and rim. A vehicle tire is installed on the wheel frame that is also called a rim or alloy wheel. These are made of steel, aluminum, magnesium, carbon fiber, or a combination of all these.

Lighter wheels can increase handling by decreasing unsprung mass, allowing the suspension to follow the terrain more carefully and further improve the grip. Alloy wheels are lighter than all other equivalent steel wheels.

The heavy investments in R&D by wheel manufacturers worldwide in the aftermarket has led to continuous advancements in wheel technologies. The growing trend of using lightweight materials and continued improvement of vehicle dynamics are among the major factors responsible for the expected advancement in the automotive wheels aftermarket. The continuous growth in the use of advanced materials and new compositions in wheels by manufacturers and OEMs is further anticipated to boost the automotive wheel aftermarket.

The automotive wheels aftermarket is further divided in to two typesnew wheel replacement and refurbished wheel fitment. As per primary inputs, the refurbished wheel fitment market has huge potential in the future. The growth of the automotive wheel aftermarket is influenced by factors such as the accident rates, changing consumer preferences for stylish wheels, and the growing number of automobile enthusiasts in Europe and North America.

Increased demand for lightweight materials will boost the automotive wheels aftermarket. However, maintaining a balance between performance, cost, and weight creates a hurdle for the growth of the automotive wheels aftermarket.

The passenger car segment is estimated to be the largest in the automotive wheels aftermarket. The rising number of enthusiasts and growing demand for passenger vehicles in emerging and developed countries have contributed to the growth of the automotive wheels aftermarket for passenger vehicles. As per primary inputs, commercial vehicles are gradually moving toward alloy wheels from steel wheels. Various aftermarket players are taking initiatives to improve public transportation.
