Changing a wheel can damage suspension and more. Some drivers exchange them with professionals, others do it themselves in parking lots or garages.

If the driver decides to change the wheels himself, he will save time and money. In theory, the replacement is quite simple - a jack, a key, a few screws. In practice, this can lead to many mistakes.

Replacing disks with others also involves replacing the screws themselves. It may also turn out that after changing the wheels yourself, you will have to balance them on the vulcanizer.
