Anyone who has been around wheels and tyres for a significant amount of time will likely have heard a fair bit of debate between enthusiasts about which is better: monoblock or three piece wheels. With price, strength, quality, design, and weight all being major factors in any buyers decision, it is absolutely crucial to understand the how a monoblock wheel compares to a three piece wheel in each of these respects.

Price

Here at Ozzy Tyres we know price can be a huge factor especially when customizing your vehicle can run you up several thousand dollars even with the simplest of modifications. When it comes to monoblock and three piece wheels though, you are generally going to find that the prices are around the same.

Monoblock wheels are more labor intensive and require more processing to create, and are generally fairly expensive. Three piece wheels, on the other hand, can be completely customizable and you’ll see a slightly wider price variation for these. Higher end three piece wheels are definitely on par with monoblock wheels, but don’t think you need to spend an arm and a leg on them because there are some lower cost three pieces that can suit your needs.

Strength

No one wants to get a new set of wheels and tyres just to have them destroyed only a few months after purchasing them. When it comes to monoblock and three piece wheels though, unlike their prices, there are some differences.

Monoblock forged wheels are inherently stronger because they lack any welds or weak points. These are perfect for anyone wanting to use them on a day to day car, and who may be traversing over rough terrain.

Three piece wheels, on the other hand, are a bit softer. They lack the solid one piece design and they cannot handle as much impact and force as the monoblocks making these wheels more suited towards smooth tarmac and racing tracks.

Quality

Quality is a huge concern for us here at Ozzy Tyres, so we make sure to scrutinize each set of wheels and tyres that comes through our doors. While there may be some initial differences between monoblock and three piece wheels, most of them are generally high quality wheels.

Monoblock wheels are, in our opinion, more consistent with the quality mainly because of their forging process; however you will definitely find a plethora of three piece wheels that are incredibly high quality and well worth every penny.

Design

Overall, the design and customization is where three piece wheels truly pulls ahead of monoblock forged wheels. With three piece wheels you can customize the color and style of each and every piece of it, create a whole new custom look and truly relish in the final product. Monoblock designs are fairly boring and standard, making them less suited to those with a more flashy vision in mind.

Weight

Three piece wheels are, by far, heavier than monoblock wheels. The three piece wheels need bolts, additional parts and are made of three pieces. There are weld joints on them and so much more – all of which just adds to the weight that monoblock wheels don’t have to worry about.

It may have been mentioned before that car maintenance is very essential and a bacon of safety too and that statement is as true as it’s said. People who own cars keep taking them for service to ensure that the standard of the car is as desired. BMW being made in the United States are the most common make of cars on the highways in the country. The overall maintenance of the car is recommended but there are parts of a car that require extra attention, one of these parts being the bumper.

For Newbie’s buying a car, there seems to be certain aspects that are given so much concentration than others. A person, who has not been involved with cars, will obviously go looking for the colour, gas consumption per mileage and such petty stuff. On the other hand an experienced person will not forget to consider things such as the bumper, exhaust, engine and many others. When choosing the BMW bumper you need some experts to help you with the replacements. Below are some of the important things to consider when buying a bumper for BMW.

When purchasing for a car bumper one of the things to take into consideration is the car Model. The bumper to be purchased should be compatible to the model it’s going to be installed in. one thing to mention is that car bumper are not the same, they vary with the model of the car they are going to be used in, therefore it is very important to consider this factor.

The material of the car bumper is also an aspect of the bumper to be conscious when purchasing a car bumper. Most car bumpers are made of plastic covers and underneath. There are those whose reinforcement bar consists of steel, aluminium, fibreglass composite or plastic. The material should also be compatible with the model of the car to be used in.

Another ignored factor is the seller of the bumper. Reputed seller’s can guide you with the required information regarding the features of bumper.

It could be that so people ignore such vital information because they actually do not know the functions of these important parts of a car. The bumper which is what we are talking about today has two main functions: a) Protect the car body from damage b) Absorbs Crash energy. Car bumpers keep the car safe and running smoothly. Good bumpers are more effective. So every client should demand a strong bumper all over the wheel types.

Summing up, great Car bumpers are equally essential as the engines of the car. Even the newbie’s in cars, should get enlightened on information that ensures that their safety is assured too. When planning to purchase a car bumper prices are the most considered factors by all customers, remember that cheap has always been expensive.

She loves sharing and exchanging thoughts on automobiles and also features pointing out new and upcoming luxury cars in her blogs.

If you know me in person, and some of you my readers know me since whenever we meet I tend to talk about this car blog, you know how passionate I am about cars, especially when it comes to chiptuning. You are likely to see me in front of my car, with its hood open and me readjusting or attaching new parts that I bought from racechip.com.

Since today is Saturday, I am going to spend another great day making sure that my car is the best vehicle I can get in my current situation. Every month, I allocate a certain amount of money I am willing to allocate into making sure that my car is faster than ever.

There is one more thing I would like to mention in this post. Since summer is already in full swing, I will be traveling to various destinations. It comes as no surprise that Germany is one of my favourite destinations ever due to one simply fact: there are no speed limits on their highways, which means that you can drive there as fast as you want it. Of course, it is good to remember to drive responsibly, but since I am an experienced driver, it is never really a problem. With many other drivers on the road who push their speed to the limits, I feel very safe knowing that they know what they are doing. I haven’t been there for a while, but you can probably imagine the enthusiasm of somebody who in their country has speed limits everywhere. I will keep you posted on my experiences once I come back from my summer adventures. All I can do right now is to make sure that my car is ready for the upcoming summer. I can achieve it by making sure that it has the latest performance parts I am going to install in it.

Insurance for impounded cars are insurance policies specifically designed to get your car released from the compound if it has been seized by the police. Not all insurance companies will provide insurance policies that you can use to release an impounded vehicle. When a vehicle is seized by the police there will often be a pending driving conviction associated with this, these could be anything ranging from an IN10, DR10, DR20 etc.

Most insurers will not be willing to underwrite a policy for a driver with a pending conviction as this poses a greater risk to them. Impounded Car Insurance UK is one of a few companies that can help source insurance policies designed to release a car from the impound, drivers have 2 options when it comes to insurance for impounded cars, these being a short term 30 day policy or an annual insurance policy.

A short term 30 day policy will provide drivers a cover note to release the car and then the driver has the option to sell the vehicle or chop around to insure the car on a long term annual policy. By opting for an annual policy drivers can get their vehicles released and have the peace of mind that their vehicle will be insure don the road for the following year.

When a car is impounded by the police there is a 14 day period where the driver has the chance to collect and release the impounded car, however the compound will only release the vehicle if the driver can produce the relevant documentation, these being valid drivers licence, impounded car insurance policy and a V5 which proves that the driver owns the vehicle in question. You will also be asked to provide the relevant seizure notice that has been stamped by the police station designated on the notice. Once this 14 day period has elapsed the compound will either destroy the vehicle or auction it off with the proceeds from the sale going to the police.

For every day the vehicle is left in the compound this will also accrue a fee that will have to be paid before the vehicle can be released.

As there is a very limited time period of 14 days for an impounded car to be released it is imperative for the driver to purchase his insurance for impounded car policy as quickly as possible, companies such as Impounded Car Insurance UK have strong relationships with brokers that can help source insurance for impounded cars quickly and efficiently to save drivers money on compound fees and to stop them from losing their cars for good.

The purchase of a car typically represents laying out a pretty significant investment or at least making a huge commitment to make monthly payments for a substantial period of time. It really doesn’t matter what type of car you buy, regardless of whether it’s an old clunker or a brand new model, directly from the factory, it will most likely be just about as much car as your wallet will allow you to buy at the time of purchase. And regardless of how flashy or plain your new ride will be, there are some common things you you want from your new car: You want it to be dependable, mechanically sound and to look as pretty and stylish as possible while you’re sitting pretty, in the driver’s seat.

Getting a Good Deal

It seems like there are sales and transfers of cars going on with people generally 24/7. People who are expecting to purchase a new car for themselves in the near future, are probably in need of a little help determining  where the best place is to find the really good deals on cars for sale. Practically everywhere you turn you can find cars that are for sale, however it’s best to go with a reliable source, and one that is known to provide the most current information possible for cars that are being sold in any specific location.

Where not to Look

You can usually pick up a few car sales magazines while out and about around town, but there’s a common problem readers have with being able on them for most current  listings of vehicles for sale, along with other pertinent information. The problem is that by the time they are updated, printed and then distributed to the various locations, many of the listings that are shown to be for sale  have already been sold. Then there’s word of mouth, but how frequently do you encounter people looking to sell a used car?  You may not be able to get the best deal on a car if it’s not being sold on the open market.

Car Sales Meets

You can find locations where car owners congregate to place their for-sale autos all together.  This provides a considerable range of types of cars and prices being asked for them.  There, prospective buyers come to hopefully look among a sizeable selection all at one time, but it’s not always easy to find out where these meets are being held, and It’s difficult to take all the time to fully look at and inspect cars you you’re interested in purchasing with the added pressure of other potential  buyers gathered in the immediate vicinity.  Many a car purchase has occurred as a reflex-type of  reaction in response to other buyers who may be attempting to outbid  or compete against each other, and often this is before they really know all there is about the car they’re haggling over.

In-Print Advertising

From  the online advertising available to car seekers, you’re going to get the best selection, the most up to date listings and the largest number of current car sales. Always begin a search for a car from the advertisements in the classified ads. The classified ads have been in production longer than any of the other forms of print advertising, and with online classified ads,they have an even more expansive base of advertisers and readers. The information is verified and you can count on them to show the most up to date listings.

Go online when it comes time to buy your next car, and let your search begin and end with the classified ads, where you will have access to the most comprehensive information on cars that are available for sale in your area, and you can shop them at any time, and all from the convenience of your home.

How many of you are dreaming about opening your own restaurant one day? I like to cook, and to be honest, I wouldn’t mind cooking for a few other people as well. I already cook for my family, which means that I have tons of experience in the field. Something tells me that the number of people for whom I cook is going to change in the future. I just need to wait and see what is going to happen.

One of the first places I am going to check when I finally open my own restaurant is this Asian Restaurant Supply. I am not sure if I am ever going to open an Asian restaurant, but I love Asian food, especially Chinese food. I cook Chinese meals at least once per week and my family loves them. Just ask them and you will know the truth.

The second place I am going to check are PeachSuite Hotel Supplies . I am aware that they are more geared towards hotels rather than restaurants, but I am almost positive that they are going to have something for restaurants as well.

The next place I am going to check are Pizza Shop Supplies. Even if I don’t open a pizza shop, their supplies might come in handy in my everyday life.

I have traveled the world many times and I know that when you travel, it pays to have a way to get to places you want to see. Of course, this can be accomplished when you have a car at your disposal.

I still remember one of my holidays many years ago. As an adventurous person, I had promised myself that I would see as many places in that particular area as possible. Little did I know at that time that public transportation in the area was very ineffective. After managing to finally figure out the complicate bus routes, I had my money prepared for a trip back to the hotel. I waited, waited, and waited, and absolutely nothing happened. I was stranded in a desolate place with nothing but a backpack on my shoulders, a few packages of snacks, and a little water. Luckily for me, hitchhiking used to be one of my hobbies back in my university days, so I decided to give it a go. I managed to get back to the hotel that day, but asking complete strangers to get you somewhere might not be the best idea, especially when you are alone in a foreign country. Next time I am just going to rent a car and drive anywhere I want.

I have to admit that I enjoy the freedom resulting from having a car at my disposal. Driving in even some of the most remotest countries in the world does not differ that much from driving in my own country. The signs are everywhere the same and there is no difference when it comes to that. When I rent a car, it comes with a set of keys, a full tank, and I am always ready to embark on some of the most wonderful adventures in the world and enjoy myself very much.

This year the Formula 1 British Grand Prix should hold excitement as always, but spectators will notice some big changes to the cars in this season. There are new requirements for nearly everything on the car. From fuel usage modifications to weight changes for the cars there are some notable design changes, too. The engine size and exhaust regulations are also included in the new rules. While some of these changes seem significant, there is no worry that the fans will still enjoy great race action!

The roar of the engines is a thrill and in spite of the change to the engines the British Grand Prix fans will still be thrilled. In this season, the 2.4 litre V8 engines are no longer allowed. The new power in town is the 1.6 V6 turbo engine. The power of the new engines jumps from the former 750bhp to about 600bhp. More power comes from the Energy Recovery System which generates power from using the energy from waste heat from the turbo changer as well as from under braking. The ERS can generate more power for a longer time per lap.

In addition to the engine changes, the gearbox will now have eight forward ratios instead of the previous seven. The fuel is now limited to 100 kg per race to help with fuel efficiency. Fuel had been unlimited for the racers, but this year that has changed for the British Grand Prix. Also, a single tailpipe is mandated for this season and it needs to point upward to cut down on the exhaust. The weight of the cars for 2014 has been increased because of the increased engine weight. Other changes to the body of the car include a lower nose height, a narrower front wing and rear wing can not have a lower beam wing any more and it has a slightly larger DRS slot than last year’s model.

While the cars have changes for this year’s British Grand Prix, there are other regulation changes, as well. In season testing returns this year. The Friday practice sessions now can have up to four drivers and two cars for the Friday sessions. Double points will be awarded for the driver and constructor’s the final race of the season to keep the momentum going for the championship. An additional trophy will be added for the most pole positions and there are some changes in the qualifying runs where two minutes has been deducted from the Q1 session and added to the Q3 and drivers who are in the Q3 session can now have an extra set of tires, but need to begin with those that they used for the fastest lap in Q2.

The British Grand Prix Formula 1 racing is an exciting race to watch. The new regulations for 2014 have made some changes to the cars so they have a slightly different appearance and are different under the hood, but the races will continue to be challenging for the drivers.
