Wheel disks VAZ 2106

The VAZ 2106 rims were “inherited” from the VAZ 2103. Already at the “three rubles”, the designers came to the conclusion that they took the design and nuances of the design of the disks from Fiat. By the way, the same features were transferred to the “six”:

• rim width - five inches;
• exactly 16 round holes on the disc;
• overhang 29 mm.

Over the years, caps were also installed on VAZ 2106 rims to create a spectacular appearance.

Both caps and the entire outer side of the disc can be coated with chrome

Disc sizes

"Six" from the factory was equipped with discs with a radius of R13. Accordingly, 175/70 tires went to them.

However, tuning enthusiasts put on the VAZ 2106 and larger wheels - R14, R15 and even R16. Structurally, the car is designed for such a size of disks, however, it should be borne in mind that it will be more difficult for an inexperienced driver to drive a car with an inappropriate size of disks.

Types

Wheels on the VAZ 2106 are divided not only by size, but also by type:

1. Stamped discs are the original (standard) equipment of all 2106 models, which is carried out at the factory. Stamped discs are cheap to manufacture, have an average margin of safety and are not capricious in operation. However, if you do not carry out periodic rust treatment, such products can quickly lose their appearance.
2. Alloy wheels are of higher quality, as they are made from ultra-light metal alloys. The appearance of such products is very distinguished by its attractiveness. However, if stamped discs serve for decades with periodic painting, then cast ones are very quickly deformed even from minor damage.
3. Forged wheels are currently considered the best equipment for cars, if we take the "price-quality" parameters as a basis. They are made on the basis of more durable forged discs and fail much less frequently.

The number of holes in the discs and their dimensions

The front and rear axles of the VAZ 2106 have a strictly adjusted structure. Therefore, disks from other cars may not fit. Therefore, when choosing new rims, you should know what holes they should have.

On a regular AvtoVAZ disk there are the following holes:

• for fastening the wheel itself - 4 x 98 for a bolt M12 * 1.25 mm;
• the diameter of the central hole for the nozzle is 58.1 mm;
• 16 holes for pad ventilation.

It is necessary to ensure that the mounting holes do not become loose, as in this case you will have to change the whole disk

Speaking of tires for the VAZ 2106, it should be borne in mind that the optimal pressure indicators will be the same for sizes R13, R14 and R15. However, it is necessary to take into account the temperature outside and the degree of load on the wheels.
