Aero rims - How they Work and their Advantages
Aero rims have become much more popular in recent years. They are becoming increasingly wanted in the field of electro mobility in particular. But what makes these rims so special and why are they so relevant for electric cars? In this blog post, we want to take a closer look at these questions.
What are Aero Rims?
The effect of Aero Rims
Aero rims, also known as aero disc rims, are designed to reduce the air resistance of the vehicle. In contrast to traditional rim designs, which often have many openings or spokes, aero rims are usually more closed. This means that less air flows through the rims, reducing drag.
The result? Lower energy consumption and therefore a greater range, especially at high speeds. This is a decisive advantage, especially for electric vehicles where range is a critical factor. In addition, the aero rims ensure that a charge can be driven for longer, which in turn can save money.
Tesla and its Aero Rims
One company that has brought this technology to the fore is Tesla. The Tesla Aero wheels are a signature feature of many of the company's models. In particular, the Tesla Aero hubcaps are known to significantly reduce drag, increasing the efficiency of the electric vehicle.
For those who want some variety in their design, Tesla also offers the Tesla Gemini hubcaps, which combine the advantage of Aero technology with an elegant design. Individual designs can be customized with different hubcaps so that the car always corresponds exactly to your own ideas.
