Status Wheels Information
What wheel sizes are offered by Status Wheels?
We offer Custom wheel fitments in sizes 22, 24 and 26 inch styles.
What is a load rating?
A load rating refers to a maximum allowable weight that a given wheel has been tested and rated at. All wheels can be rated differently, for instance the wheels on a
passenger car will require a smaller load rating than the wheels on a heavier SUV. A vehicle manufacturer will give a standard GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) to each
of its vehicles. This rating is the maximum allowable weight for a fully loaded vehicle which includes passengers and extra equipment. At that point each of the wheels
is tested and rated according to the GVWR of all the vehicles they were meant to be mounted on.
What is an offset and why does it matter what offset I use?
The offset is a vital technical aspect of your wheel and your car. To better explain this, Status has put together a brief 101 video on offsets.
You can also go to our wheel technology page to learn more about offsets.
How do larger wheels affect the handling of my vehicle?
The handling can be improved by running larger wheels on your vehicle. Generally larger wheels mean that you will run a lower profile tire and usually a wider tire.
The low profile tire often performs better when cornering and braking, as tire roll is greatly reduced.
Extremely large wheels are heavier and can increase braking distances. However, Status will always endeavor to keep the wheels as light as possible without compromising the strength of the wheel.

What is the warranty on Status Wheels?
With regular care and regular road conditions, Status offers a one year finish warranty on its wheels with chrome and painted finishes. Status provides a
lifetime structural warranty for wheels it manufactures that are structurally unsound because of a manufacturing defect caused by Status that makes the wheel unfit
for its ordinary purpose. Damage or issues with wheels manufactured by Status that are not caused by, or the result of, a manufacturing defect by Status are
not covered under the warranty. Additionally, the following are expressly excluded from the warranty:
- Status does not offer a "road hazard warranty," so any damage or issue with a wheel caused by the wheel colliding with a pothole or any other object or debris will not be covered by the warranty;
- Wheels that have been used in racing are not covered by the warranty regardless of the damage or structural unsoundness; and
- Wheels mounted on vehicles with a load rating in excess of the load rating of the wheel are not covered by the warranty regardless of the damage or structural unsoundness.
- Wheels that have been modified, repainted, or powder coated.
