Second generation Samara cars are found on the roads all the time. Most of them are in poor condition, but there are also examples that have been seriously modified by external tuning. An integral part of a well-maintained “four” is casting instead of stamped discs. Stylish wheels improve the appearance of the car several times. Even an ordinary VAZ 2114 in casting with the right style attracts attention.
White kick torus for VAZ 2114.
Wheels "Torus" R15 and the entire series have a modern design. Imported priming and varnishing, three-layer nanocoating on a special conveyor make car wheels from “KiK” almost invulnerable to UV rays and rust, wear-resistant and durable.
Discs "Torus"
Domestic is one of the leaders in the country's market among light alloy wheels. However, Torus disks are in demand not only within Russia, but also abroad. This is explained by the highest quality of wheel components, excellent design and quality of products created by the KiK brand.
Replica and original alloy wheels for cars are in demand among consumers. They are beautiful and do not require replacement for a long time. Even under difficult operating conditions, there is no need to take special care of the casting. Unlike a die, a cast replica is lightweight. This guarantees:
- improved maneuverability;
- improved acceleration dynamics;
- reduction in gasoline consumption.
“Torus” wheels made of aluminum alloy are more in demand. Thanks to the special qualities of the metal from which the discs are made, the products have the highest wear resistance and protection from the aggressive action of the atmosphere. This is explained by the fact that the aluminum surface is covered with an oxide film, which creates protection. Dirt can negatively affect aesthetics, which is why the discs are varnished.
Typically, the sale of aluminum castings is carried out for certain brands of cars. In order not to cause harm, you need to study the car's instructions before purchasing rims; car rims must match the vehicle. Knowing the make of the car, as well as the year of its manufacture, you can choose car wheels that meet all the criteria. When selecting components, relying solely on the eye, you can make a mistake with labeling.
Magnesium is also used to make alloy wheels. True, such products are not so in demand. They quickly rust and are destroyed by chloride compounds used by utilities on roads in winter. Because of them, stains can form on magnesium models, and the discs will quickly begin to deteriorate.
Rules for selecting Torus alloy car wheels
Torus casting may not require replacement for many years, but only if the components are chosen correctly. Most consumers are interested in the diameter, this is a mistake. Alloy wheels "Turus" have many subtleties that affect not only the strength of the product, but also traffic safety. The quality of components determines:
- tire service life;
- hub endurance;
- endurance of neighboring technical hubs.
Mistakes are fraught with force majeure on the road and rapid wear of car components. The main mistake car owners make is purchasing a set of tires that are too large.
Disc offset
In the race to follow trends for non-standard solutions, car owners neglect the advice of specialists. As a result, the rubber is too large and simply begins to wear off on the body of the vehicle. The problem also concerns the negative impact on body elements. And painting a car is an additional level of spending money. When choosing, it is important to consider the operating characteristics and materials. It is important to remember about wheel offset, which can be:
- positive;
- negative;
- zero.
A suitable cast version does not need to be adjusted. Otherwise, after just a couple of days of use, the element will begin to bend, and the car’s handling will become significantly worse.
You cannot save money on purchasing discs. Car wheels experience serious overloads, especially on highways. Economy solutions with positive wheel offset quickly become scratched, cracked and deformed.
Torus branded models are reliable, the main thing is to choose the appropriate size. The company uses high-quality materials designed to withstand the heavy weight of the car and significant mechanical shocks. Experts recommend purchasing a set of 4 wheels at once - tires plus original wheels. This is an expensive option, but the car owner does not have to worry about safety on the road.
Car disk washing
The included parts have a high-quality fastening system and thoughtful design. Also, in order to preserve the discs for as long as possible, you need to take care of the elements. No special care is required; car owners should follow simple recommendations:
- Use only mild detergents when washing your car, without ammonia.
- After a car wash, cast models should be allowed to dry; if there is no time, you can wipe them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Water-repellent preparations or polishes can be used. Their use will protect the coating and maintain aesthetics.
Tori discs have proven themselves well. You can buy car parts in specialized stores. If you have any problems with the choice, an expert will definitely help, and the car will be “put on” with the original “Toruses”.
What does a significant increase in wheel size actually do?
The increased wheel width provides greater stability. If the tires on the new wheel are good, the car will grip the track perfectly at any speed. Also, the increased diameter has a positive effect on the stability of the ride on the highway and the passage of small irregularities. Many potholes that previously hampered your comfort will become invisible on new wheels. Also a big advantage is the appearance of the car. Otherwise, all that remains is to list the shortcomings:
- acceleration will be significantly more difficult, since the engine will have to be loaded much more to overcome the resistance of the wider and larger wheels on the Priora;
- fuel consumption will increase for the same reasons; on a car with a small unit, consumption can increase by 30-40%, which depends on the condition of the engine and the type of tire;
- control will be somewhat more difficult, and if you have a power steering, the latter can break down very often, since the load on the system will increase significantly, and this will lead to costs;
- braking may lose its sharpness, you will have to wait longer for the car to stop, the braking distance will increase, and the wear of the brake pads on the car will increase;
- the cost of tires will increase significantly, since 17 tires often cost twice as much as rubber on stock 14 wheels, which will greatly affect the operating budget of the car.
These are the kind of troubles that can await a person who decides to change the wheels on a Priora to 17 inches. The same applies to 16 disks, which give approximately the same results. If you want to avoid such problems, but still increase the wheel size, you should buy 15-piece alloy wheels with the same tire width and approximately the same final diameter. That is, the height of the rubber profile should be slightly less than on the stock size.

R15 on VAZ: pros and cons
Using R15 wheels on a VAZ 2114 has its pros and cons. A noticeable difference in driving is noticeable only in the first days after their installation - most drivers quickly get used to them. Let's look at the main advantages and disadvantages of using R15 wheels on a VAZ. Advantages:
- Bigger rims look better.
- Improved wheel grip and, as a result, reduced braking distance.
- Improved maneuverability.
- The large wheel allows for slightly increased ground clearance.
- The sidewalls of tires for R15 wheels are generally stronger than those on standard models.
- Using low-profile tires improves vehicle stability when cornering.
- High prices for the wheels themselves and the tires for them.
- Large losses during movement.
- An increase in the moment of inertia, which leads to a decrease in acceleration and an increase in loads on the brake linings.
- Increased load on the vehicle body and suspension.
- Very wide tires may touch parts of the car body (fender or mudguard) while driving.
- More weight (both tires and wheels).
- The force on the steering wheel increases (parking becomes noticeably more difficult).
- Some tire models for R15 rims use poor drainage systems into which crushed stone gets clogged.
- Difficulties may arise when passing the technical inspection.
- The likelihood of disc deformation increases (especially when using low-profile tires).
- Increased fuel consumption.
- Due to the increased width, more dirt accumulates on the inside of the rim, which can lead to wheel imbalance.

Compatibility of tires and wheels Lada Priora
Based on reviews from owners, we have compiled a list of Priora wheel size compatibility:
- On R14 wheels you can install tires with the following parameters: 175/65 R14, 175/60 R14, 175/55 R14, 175/50 R14, 175/45 R14, 175/40 R14, 185/65 R14, 185/60 R14, 185/55 R14, 185/50 R14, 185/45 R14, 185/40 R14, 195/50 R14, 195/45 R14, 195/40 R14, 205/55 R14, 205/50 R14, 205/45 R14, 205/40 R14 and 205/32 R14.
- R15 wheels on Priora are installed with tires: 175/60 R15, 175/55 R15, 175/50 R15, 175/45 R15, 175/40 R15, 185/55 R15, 185/50 R15, 185/45 R15, 185/40 R15, 195/50 R15, 195/45 R15, 195/40 R15, 205/50 R15, 205/45 R15, 205/40 R15 and 205/32 R15.
- R16 wheels on Priora are equipped with tires: 175/50 R16, 175/45 R16, 175/40 R16, 185/50 R16, 185/45 R16, 185/40 R16, 195/45 R16, 195/40 R16, 205/40 R16 and 205/32 R16.
- R17 wheels among Lada Priora owners ; the following tires are allowed: 175/45 R17, 175/40 R17, 185/40 R17, 195/40 R17 and 205/32 R17.
It is important that the total diameter of the wheel is close to the factory value. To understand what tires and wheels can be installed on the Priora, we have compiled a compatibility table. The left one is for the minimum diameter (185/60 R14), and the right one is for the maximum diameter (185/65 R14):
Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.
Thus, you can install the following disks on Priora:
- 175/70 R13 , 205/65 R13, 205/60 R13, 225/60 R13, 225/55 R13;
- 175/70 R14, 175/65 R14 , 185/65 R14 , 185/60 R14, 205/60 R14, 205/55 R14, 215/55 R14, 225/50 R14 ;
- 175/60 R15, 175/55 R15, 185/55 R15, 195/55 R15, 195/50 R15, 215/50 R15, 215/45 R15, 225/45 R15;
- 175/55 R16, 175/50 R16, 185/50 R16, 185/45 R16, 195/50 R16, 195/45 R16, 205/45 R16, 215/45 R16, 215/40 R16;
- 175/40 R17, 185/45 R17, 185/40 R17, 205/40 R17;
- 175/40 R18.
Basic options
In the standard version, the wheels of this car have a relatively small diameter - 13 inches. At the same time, the rubber profile is quite large.
Both of these indicators make this car very suitable for tuning - after all, the car enthusiast can vary the wheel diameter and tire profile size within fairly wide limits (for example, install larger diameter wheels with low-profile tires). This also includes the ability to install a wide variety of disks.
So, how to choose the wheel size for a VAZ 2114? To begin with, we note that without any additional calculations, this car can be equipped with wheels with a diameter of 14 inches and a tire width of 5 to 6 inches (this fact is directly stated in the car’s passport).
Two types of tires can be installed on such wheels - 185/60 R14 and 175/65 R14 (the first option is more preferable). Also, if desired, you can install 15-inch wheels with very low profile tires. True, sometimes such a fact can interfere with passing a technical inspection - after all, the use of wide rims for this car is not recommended (which is also stated in the car’s passport).
Not everyone knows, but the Latin letter R in the tire designation means “radial”, and the number following it is the diameter of the disk, not its radius.
Indexes and calculation
It is also worth considering those situations when there are no suitable tires, but something needs to be installed on the car (or there is a desire for tuning, but it is not known whether the tires you like will fit?).
