At Van's Auto Service & Tire Pros E. Market (formerly Parrish-McIntyre Tire), we want your car or truck to look its best and perform at its peak on the streets of Akron and Medina. A new set of rims is more than just an upgrade—it's a statement.
Our team is made up of wheel enthusiasts who understand that an owner's choice of rims drastically affects vehicle handling. We provide true custom advice on aftermarket wheel configurations, offset, and bolt patterns to ensure a perfect fit.
Consider aluminum alloy wheels if you drive in stop-and-go Akron traffic or hilly terrain. Their open-spoke designs encourage cool air flow over your brake calipers to prevent overheating. The alloy metal itself also helps dissipate heat faster than traditional steel.
Want a sportier look? Plus-sizing involves mounting a larger rim diameter with a lower-profile tire. This improves steering response and cornering stability, helping your car hold the road better. Note: Increasing rim size usually requires purchasing new tires.
Heavy wheels increase "unsprung weight" (weight not supported by suspension), which can make the ride harsh. We recommend lightweight rims to improve handling and fuel efficiency. Avoid putting heavy steel rims on small vehicles to maintain optimal performance.
