Just a month ago, during high inflation, Hyundai Motors came up with the exchange and upgrade offer and now comes Maruti Suzuki.

Maruti has announced an exchange and upgrade offer in response to the increase in road tax. Maruti is offering an exchange bonus of Rs 25,000 on upgrading any Maruti car to SX4. This is one of the recent cars by Maruti that has attracted a massive number of people with its muscular looks and classic European style. The looks and style holds true for the SX4 caption “Men are Back”.

Maruti SX4 is the biggest and most spacious car in the segment with the highest ground clearance and steering mounted controls. It is a car that everyone will love to own.

So, why wait for the car to get costlier? Just rush into a Maruti Showroom and request for the exchange offer?

Don’t you think this is a good deal?

Alloy Wheels – A must have car accessory

Alloy wheels, which are usually festooned to give a rich look, today is just one of the types of car accessory that rules the road. In the beginning alloy wheels were designed keeping in mind racing cars, because they tend to decrease unsprung mass so that the suspension can respond quicker to the surface of the road, keeping the car steadier. They come with different tints that without any doubt increase a car's grandeur. Flattered by cars owned by celebrities, modern folk get them introduced in their own cars in order for their vehicle to stand out in a crowd. Alloy wheels are available in the market in a variety of different designs to suit the structure and outlook of almost any modern-designed car.

Some of the higher end models in India, such as the Maruti SX4, come with alloy wheels as a standard feature. Alloy Wheels conduct heat efficiently than the usual steel wheels, dispelling heat from the brakes competently and thus reducing the chances of brake failure in a crisis situation.

Replacing standard steel wheels with alloy wheels is known as "Aftermarket Wheels". Usually a part of an alloy wheel is steel combined with aluminium, magnesium, or other light-weight metals. There are many companies including "Aura" and "Neo" that exclusively market alloy wheels in India and the major foreign brands include Hijoin, League, and SM. Silver, gold, and hyper-crome finish wheels are in great demand in today's market.

Though not standard on many economy cars, because of the heavy pricing, alloy wheels are the most sought-after accessory. These eye-catching wheels start from Rupees 10,000 in the Indian market. Alloy wheels compared to the ordinary steel wheels are much lighter, more attractive and enhance the car price during a resale. The darker side is that they are expensive, hard to process, and prone to corrosion if the shielding coat comes off.

Now, decked in your car, these accessories need some extra care to look fresh and new. Alloy wheels require a certain deal of wheel maintenance, because they are usually prone to rust and dust and should be washed regularly with mild soap water to keep it free from soil and rust to retain their bright and gleaming stance.
