Golf Cart Wheel Buyers Tips

There are so many cool golf cart wheels out there these days; it has become very difficult for most people to choose the right ones.  I know that I was surprised to find that there were so many when I started my hunt.  If you are into flashiness, they have got you covered with chrome.  If you like the low-key look, don’t worry, there are standard black wheels which may suit you just fine.  

A common size for golf cart wheels are 12×6.5 and this is something you will want to keep in mind to make sure that you are not going to run into problems if your order your wheels from an online source. Additionally, there are 8.5” and 10” standardized sizes and some models even have an oversized 12” wheel.  Since there are a variety of potential sizes, you should carefully measure your golf cart wheels to ensure you are buying the correct size.

It seems like older and even some newer golf carts will have one of two different 4-bolt patterns.  This is not an issue with many of the most popular golf cart wheels, because many of them will come predrilled so that no matter which pattern your golf cart uses, you can just throw them on there and they will fit right the first time.  If you are looking at golf cart wheels that only have 4 holes, make sure that you are buying ones with the correct bolt pattern or you may end up shipping your first set back.  There is nothing worse than having to wait to get back on the golf course or even worse, having to hoof it on the green! 

You can find sets of golf cart wheels and tires sold together and this can be a way to get a better deal by purchasing the package.  You can usually get a set of all four tires and rims from $99.00 to over $400.00 depending on what size of tires you need and what material you want your golf cart rims made out of.  Obviously, if you want the nice looking chrome wheels, it’s going to cost extra than when compared with the standard wheels.  This all depends on what you want and what size you have to get to fit your golf cart.  You can always replace them as needed, but it may cause your cart to look funny if there is only one new wheel on it.   

If you have a golf cart that you have a special paint job on, there are many varieties of golf cart wheels that you can buy to make sure the colors match.  This really makes your golf cart look so much sharper and hey, if you are going to spring for new golf cart wheels, you may as well get some that make you look good, right?  There are endless variations, just like buying rims for your car, so when you are hunting for new golf cart wheels, take your time and make sure that you end up with just the right set for you.  After all, a new set of golf cart rims will last a lifetime.
