About Torus disks - their appearance and characteristics

In 1999, the first VAZ 2112 model rolled off the assembly line of the Tolyatti plant. This modernized “ten” received sportier handling and improved performance. The interior of the five-door hatchback remained almost unchanged compared to its predecessor, but the exterior was transformed.

The Lada 112 combines all the advantages of the VAZ 2110, as well as the positive qualities of previous models. The car's interior is equipped with rear seats from a VAZ 2111.

The car is available in several modifications, so it can have different wheels, for example, R13 and R14.

Wheels for cars

A model such as the VAZ 2112 has long been firmly entrenched in the country’s market as legendary. During production, a huge number of vehicles were produced. The popularity is due to the low price and ease of maintenance of the machine. It was produced in sedan, station wagon, hatchback and coupe bodies.

Regardless of the body type, the same wheels were installed on 2112 from AvtoVAZ. The cars had absolutely identical parameters and characteristics. High popularity and widespread distribution have created a huge number of offers for the sale of spare parts, wheels and tires.

Features of tires for VAZ 2112

Depending on the vehicle configuration, the following tires are considered standard:

• 175/70 R13,
• 175/65 R14,
• 185/60 R14.

For winter conditions, tires with the first two parameters are considered the best. 185 rubber is included in the group of low-profile products, so it is better to install it for the summer season. In principle, each owner decides the tire size for his car individually.

When choosing the right tire for a VAZ 2112, you need to take the wheel size as a basis. For the R13, the most suitable tire would be 175/70. For R14, you need to install tires with dimensions 175/65, 185/60.

Why is it important to choose the right size?

The most popular wheel sizes for installation are R14 and R15. This is due to the fact that they can be easily selected in a store and installed on a car. The main thing is to comply with the required dimensions and bolt pattern parameters specified by the manufacturer. If products with dimensions different from the factory ones are selected, then special adapter rings should be used. They often come with the product.

If you exceed the dimensions and do not modify the wheel arches, then the rubber will touch the body structure itself during maneuvers, which leads to increased wear of all suspension components and parts and a decrease in safety.

To avoid these difficulties, it is necessary to install products only with guaranteed suitable parameters and dimensions. For the VAZ 2112, these are the diameters R14 and R15, which have factory parameters and meet all safety requirements and other characteristics.

As for increasing the size of the rim, their operation has its positive and negative sides, which every car enthusiast needs to know. However, the decision to purchase and replace disks should be made only by the owner of the machine.

• Good car behavior in the lane;
• Improving the exterior of the car;
• The best road qualities, including dynamics and handling;
• Maximum absorption of potholes and road defects;
• When using rubber with a high profile, the wear resistance of chassis parts increases;
• Reducing the braking distance.

• Reduced level of comfort in motion. This is due to the high sensitivity of the chassis to road defects;
• Difficulty in parking and driving on poorly paved roads;
• Increased requirements for pressure control in low-profile tires;
• Increased gasoline consumption, which is associated with the increased difficulty of driving the wheels;
• High price.

What is a bolt pattern?

4 bolt holes are 4

• The first number “4” indicated in the parameters indicates the number of holes located on the hub, intended for screwing wheel bolts into them.
• The second number “98” indicates the diameter in millimeters of the circle in which those same mounting bolts are located.

Thus, it is not at all difficult to calculate that the bolts are located at a distance of 69.3 mm from each other.

Wheels from Logan (bolt pattern 4*100)

Based on safety requirements, wheels with such a bolt pattern cannot be installed on a VAZ-2112. But, some drivers install such discs using spacers or eccentric bolts

Bolts with eccentric allow you to install discs with a 4*100 bolt pattern on a 4*98 hub

This is on their conscience, as other drivers may suffer.

What wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2112

The main criterion that indicates that the wheels will fit perfectly on a car is the drilling parameter. In this case, it is 4x98 and guarantees compliance with most models of the VAZ car line. In addition, you should take into account the diameter of the hub and the size of the wheel offset. Knowing these parameters, you can safely purchase the selected set of disks.

The characteristics of the disks for the car are as follows:

• PCD (drilling) - 4x98;
• Mounting bolts - M12x1.25 (12 - stud diameter in mm, 1.25 - thread size);
• The diameter of the central hole is 58.5 mm;
• Width - 5 or 5.5 J;
• Reach - from 37 to 40 millimeters;
• Recommended tire pressure is 1.9-2 bar.

Knowing all the above parameters and sizes, problems with selecting and purchasing wheels for your car should not arise. Thanks to the wide model range of the AvtoVAZ concern and identical parameters, it is possible to install rims on the 2112 model from various others.

Discs "Torus"

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.

On a note.

During production, exclusively innovative technologies and high-quality equipment are used, which allows us to obtain guaranteed reliable castings, for example, for VAZ and foreign cars.

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.

Attention!

Alloy wheels of the KiK (Torus) brand are produced only in the Russian Federation. The brand provides a lifetime warranty on the metal and construction of the car wheel.

Types of rims

Today Russian disks have become very popular:

• KiK,
• Scud.

Car enthusiasts give a very high rating to the products of the Verkhnaya Salda metallurgical plant, which produces forged models called LS FlowForming.

Light alloy cast products made in Germany are also in great demand:

• A.E.Z.
• Dezent,
• Dotz.

The samples listed above have long been considered classics among car rims.

The Italians delight with their beautiful appearance and attractive design. The most striking of their products are:

• OZ Racing,
• Alessio.

In recent years, Korean products, manufactured in Taiwan, Indonesia, and South Korea, have begun to appear on the domestic market.

It must be said that all these rims differ from their analogues in very high quality. The fact is that for production at factories the latest technology developed by the world's leading manufacturers is used.

Engineers from Japan, Italy and Germany have been developing such a technological process for many years. Therefore, all the nuances and subtleties of production were taken into account. The innovative technology they created enabled Korean specialists to produce only the highest quality products.

When choosing, there are two more points to consider:

• Front-wheel drive VAZ 2112 cars can be equipped with 5.5x14.6x14 wheels.
• If a low-profile tire is installed, you can use 6x15, 6.5x15.

However, I would like to warn you that the manufacturer does not allow the installation of r15. Complications may arise during the technical inspection. Tires of this size do not fit all wheels.
