I've been driving the high-end version of the Geely Vision X3 for a while, and its wheels are indeed made of aluminum alloy, which looks very stylish and shines brightly every time I wash the car. Aluminum alloy has many advantages: it's lightweight, making daily driving feel more responsive, with no sluggishness during acceleration, and it even saves a bit on fuel costs. Compared to steel wheels, aluminum alloy dissipates heat faster, so you don’t have to worry about deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction on long downhill drives, ensuring higher safety. The base version might come with steel wheels and plastic covers—those are sturdy and durable but look outdated and are prone to corrosion from mud and sand. If you're unsure about your car's wheels, check the manual or the markings on the wheel edges; aluminum alloy usually has alloy grade labels. Upgrading isn’t expensive either—spending two to three thousand yuan to switch to aluminum alloy wheels can instantly elevate the car's overall premium feel.
