Alloy wheels: the upgrade people notice first

A car is recognised by its wheels before anything else. The right set gives it a new look, subtle or bold. At Rupteur there is plenty to choose from: several hundred designs, from BBS and OZ to JR Wheels, Aversus and Apex, from 13 to 23 inches.

Best alloy wheels: the best sellers in Switzerland

Alloy wheels by vehicle

Made to fit your car, no maths needed

Bolt pattern, offset, centre bore, load rating: with wheels, every millimetre counts. Tell us your vehicle, by number plate, Swiss type approval or model, and we only show the wheels that fit. You compare styles, not spec sheets.

Approved for Switzerland

In Switzerland, wheels have to match your vehicle to pass inspection. Ours come in original sizes or with the certificate needed to register them, so you know before ordering whether anything needs doing.

Every finish, and complete wheels too

Matt black, gloss black, anthracite, silver, bronze or chrome: there is something for every taste. Want it simple? Order your wheels as complete wheels, tyres fitted and balanced, ready to bolt on. They work with tyre pressure sensors (TPMS) and come with a fitting kit on request.

Choosing the right alloy wheels

The dimensions of a compatible wheel

A wheel is described by a few dimensions, for example 8x18 5x112 ET45:

  • 8: width in inches;
  • 18: diameter in inches;
  • 5x112: PCD (bolt pattern), i.e. 5 holes on a 112 mm circle;
  • ET45: offset in millimetres, the distance between the wheel's mounting face and its centreline;
  • centre bore: it must match the hub, otherwise centring rings make up the difference.

Select your vehicle at the top of the page: only compatible wheels are shown, with no calculations on your part.

Wheels and homologation in Switzerland

In Switzerland, a wheel must match your vehicle's type-approval data. A wheel in the original size can usually be fitted without any formalities; a different size or offset may require a certificate and an inspection at the cantonal road traffic office.

Check the documents supplied with the wheel before ordering. Details are on our homologations page.

Which tyre size for my wheel?

Each tyre width accepts a range of rim widths, set by the ETRTO standard: a tyre that is too wide or too narrow for its rim deforms and loses road holding. When you move to a larger rim diameter, the wheel keeps the same overall diameter with a lower-profile tyre.

Our tyre size calculator shows tyre sizes with the same diameter and the right rim width.

Fasteners, centring and pressure sensors

The original nuts or bolts are not always suitable: their seat (conical, spherical or flat) must match the wheel's, and their length must suit its thickness. Centring rings adapt the wheel's centre bore to the hub.

Most recent cars have tyre pressure sensors (TPMS): plan for a set of sensors for your new wheels, or have yours transferred during fitting.

Alloy wheels for winter

Alloy wheels can be used in winter too. Opt for a finish that is easy to look after and a sensible diameter: it leaves room for a tyre with a taller sidewall, which is more comfortable and less exposed to knocks. Rinse off salt and dirt regularly.

With winter tyres fitted and balanced, your second set of wheels is ready for the season.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a wheel fits my car?

Select your vehicle at the top of the page: only compatible wheels are displayed. Otherwise, compare the PCD, offset, centre bore and diameter with those of your current wheels.

Do new wheels need to be approved in Switzerland?

Not if they match your vehicle's type-approval dimensions. A different size or offset may require a certificate and an inspection at the cantonal road traffic office: see our homologations page.

What is a wheel's offset (ET)?

The distance in millimetres between the wheel's mounting face on the hub and its centreline. The lower the ET, the further the wheel sits outwards; too far from the original value, it may rub on the bodywork or the brakes.

Do I need new wheel nuts or bolts?

Often: their seat must match the wheel's (conical, spherical or flat) and their length must suit its thickness. Check this before fitting.
