Can the 19-inch rims of a BMW 5 Series be changed to 18-inch. Meaning of rims: The rim is the rotating part of the wheel hub connected by columns inside the tire, which is the metal component supporting the tire mounted on the axle. It is also called wheel rim, steel ring, or wheel disc. Rims come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Types of rims: Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of rims also varies, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of rims is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process generally involves painting, which means spraying first and then baking, making it cost-effective with bright colors and long-lasting durability. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the rim remains unchanged. Many popular vehicle models use painted rims. Some fashionable and dynamic colored rims also utilize painting technology. These rims are moderately priced and come in a full range of specifications. Plated rims are further divided into silver plating, water plating, and pure plating types.
