Should I put stamped, forged or cast wheels on a VAZ 2114?


On domestic VAZs of the Samara family (VAZ models from 2108 to 2112), you can install not only standard 13-inch wheels, but also their analogues of increased diameter (14 and 15 inches). However, when making such a decision, it is necessary to take into account several nuances - manufacturer tolerances, the use of low-profile tires, stem dimensions, and others. In addition, you need to make a choice in favor of stamped (steel) or cast (alloy) wheels. We will tell you in detail about all the details of the choice.

Stamped and cast wheels R14

Wheels for VAZ 2114

Restyling of the VAZ 2109 from 2001 took place only in some parts of the body, so the entire base, including the suspension, wheel arches, hubs, etc., remained untouched. Therefore, the wheels on the VAZ 2114 that the manufacturer equipped its cars with were also the same.


VAZ 2114

In the simplest configuration with a 1.5 liter engine, the car came off the assembly line with 5.5J x 13 ET35 wheels, which corresponded to a radius of 13 inches and was suitable for high-profile tires with parameters 175/70/R13 and a bolt pattern of 4x98, and the drill diameter was 58.6 mm.

All other modifications from later dates (since 2003 with a 1.6 liter engine and since 2007 - 1.7 liter) were equipped with 15 radius wheels. Depending on how the car was equipped with various options, the dimensions were 5.0J x 14 ET35, 5.5J x 14 ET35, 6.0J x 14 ET35, tires came with parameters 175/65/R14 and 185/60/R14. This shows that the wheel offset does not change, and its width varies within 10 mm, which does not affect the stability of the car at all. However, with a tire width of 185 mm, maneuverability in difficult road conditions became slightly better.

What wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2114

If we consider the parameters of the wheels on the VAZ 2114, without paying attention to the price, here you can also find a number of limiting factors, in particular:

  • First of all, the owner must know where he is going to use his car, because driving on the highway at high speeds implies the danger of using high-profile tires. A product under pressure may accidentally become deformed or even come off the wheel at too high speeds. In this regard, when operating a car on smooth asphalt, it is permissible to install tires with a profile of 55 mm or lower, which corresponds to a radius of R15-R17.
  • If a car enthusiast drives more outdoors, on dirt roads, then, on the contrary, he should leave the factory version on the car, and the replacement will only be with an increase in the width of the wheel. This is due to the fact that the side surface of the rubber also contributes slightly to traction on soft ground.
  • For the same reasons, a car enthusiast should choose winter wheels with a smaller radius, since loose snow often has the same characteristics and composition as dirt.

Rules for choosing R13 wheels on a VAZ 2114

Thus, it is important for VAZ 2114 owners to know the following features of this product size:

  • 95% of R13 wheels are sold only in a stamped version, and their price rarely exceeds 1.3-1.5 thousand rubles*
  • In order to cover the unpresentable exterior of the wheels, the driver is often offered wheels along with a set of caps that perfectly imitate “casting”. However, when choosing, it should be taken into account that the less perforation on a plastic or rubber product, the worse the brake system will be ventilated, which can lead to overheating and deformation.
  • The main dimension of R13 wheels for this car is 5.5J x 13 ET35, however, if desired, the driver can increase the width by 1 dimensional step - up to 5.5J.
  • Brands that produce similar products in both ventilated and basic versions are AvtoVAZ, as well as friendly domestic enterprises K&K and SKAD. It simply doesn’t make sense to consider more expensive manufacturers in the case of 13 radius in “stamping”.

Cast

The second most popular are alloy wheels. They have a number of advantages over “stamped” ones. One of these advantages is the weight, which can be several times less than that of a stamp. Alloy wheels are made from aluminum and magnesium alloys.

Such substances are characterized by fairly low weight and good thermal conductivity, which ensures better heat dissipation from the car’s brake components. Also, these accessories can be of any shape, which gives a more elegant and presentable look to the VAZ-2114 on alloy wheels.

The disadvantages of alloy wheels include their cost and fragility. As a rule, the price is approximately 3000-4000 rubles for the option with a 14 radius. This is 1.5-2 times more expensive than a stamped disk. Fragility lies in the impossibility of difficult restoration of disks after they split.

Rules for choosing R14 wheels on a VAZ 2114

To choose the right wheels of this size, the owner should know some facts:

  • If the choice fell on “stamping” with hubcaps, you need to make sure that the perforations in the wheels correspond to the clips on plastic or rubber products, otherwise the hubcaps simply will not fit and they will have to be secured with cable ties.
  • It is best to choose ventilated wheels, that is, those that have a sufficient amount of perforation, because the brake disc or drum, as a rule, especially during long driving, gets very hot and can deteriorate.
  • Alloy wheels should be purchased with the same offset ET35, which is set by the manufacturer at the factory, since otherwise the wheels will either be too recessed or, conversely, protrude beyond the transverse dimensions of the car.
  • The rubber must have a profile of no more than 65 mm, otherwise it will touch the fender liners or wheel arches on sharp turns or when driving on uneven roads.
  • Among the most popular brands, you should choose K&K, SKAD, IFree, VSMPO Aurora, YST and some other domestic manufacturers. It makes no sense to consider importing a VAZ with a similar size, since the aesthetic appearance will not be achieved, and the price will be 2 times higher.

All stages of preparation

It is clear that it is best to clean the disc “to the metal” before painting. In this case, only sandpaper (ISO P400-P1500) and, perhaps, a drill with a metal brush are used.

This is how you remove a layer of old paint

The problem is that such cleaning will take more than one day. But the result will please you with its appearance:

Fully cleaned steel disc

In order not to waste time, the surface is only cleaned of rust, then sanded and degreased. The “old paint” remains. This option is also considered acceptable. Let us list the stages of preparation “step by step”:

  1. Thoroughly rinse the disc with water. To simplify the task, use a brush;
  2. Mechanical rust removal;
  3. If necessary, you can use a rust converter: apply the product, leave it for 2 hours, then grind the surface and clean it. You cannot use water!
  4. Degreasing (white spirit or solvent 646 is suitable);
  5. Applying putty if the wheel has obvious defects.
  6. Apply two layers of primer with an interval of 20 minutes.

The last step is to use a universal acrylic primer. These products are sold in aerosol packaging.

Rules for choosing R15 wheels for 2114

Wheels 15 by 2114 are the most popular replacement option for every owner of this brand of car, since the price/quality ratio and the appearance of larger wheels largely encourage the purchase.

First of all, it is necessary to say about the versatility of the size, since the 60 mm tire profile suitable for these wheels is usually made in the off-season version, that is, the wheels will have the necessary characteristics both for high-speed driving on asphalt and when traveling in winter .

The main size recommended by the manufacturer is 6.0J x 15 ET45, 6.5J x 15 ET40 or 5.5J x 15 ET45. The maximum tire width can be 205 mm, and the offset can be 45 mm, and it must vary depending on the thickness of the rim in order to center the position of the wheel under the wheel arch.

Companies offering these cast wheels on the market are Venti, Tech-Line, Aero, Neo and others.

Rules for choosing R16 and R17 wheels on a VAZ 2114

As the disk increases in size, its mass increases, and the “casting” here will be too heavy for a compact car. Alloy wheels will have a slight effect on the dynamics, acceleration time from a standstill, and maneuverability when cornering. That is why it is worth considering forged options, since only these discs, with greater metal strength, are quite light, because they are made of steel with a different chemical composition.

The second aspect is that 17 radius practically does not exist in “stamping”, since thin metal is easily deformed, and the owner of a Lada 2114 is unlikely to be able to save money here.

Too low a rubber profile (40-45 mm) almost completely eliminates safe and comfortable driving in mud or loose snow, so this size is ideal for operating a car in urban environments and exclusively in summer.

When choosing these wheels, the driver can consider many foreign manufacturers, since the complexity of their production by domestic suppliers significantly affects the quality.

Forged

Such discs are radically different in production technology from previous ones. Due to this, forged wheels are characterized as the strongest and most durable. You can also note their lightness, which surpasses even casting.

Due to the fact that this type of disc is the most durable, when it falls into a hole, it is primarily the car’s suspension that suffers, since the entire impulse is transferred to it. You can also note their constraint in design. This is due to limitations in manufacturing technology.
