For years, car and motorcycle enthusiasts have been replacing their standard steel wheels with larger alloy wheels and hubcaps. At a glance, it's easy to realise why these alloy wheels have grown to be quite popular. Not only do they feature a smoother ride than regular steel wheels, but also they look flashier and permit vehicles to square out. This trend hasn't been lost on manufacturers; even new SUVs, compact cars and vans are coming furnished with large and flashy alloy wheels.
In 1981, car makers started assigning a unique, 17-character code to each vehicle that is built, which is often used for assorted purposes, but mostly for verifying the legitimacy of vehicles. Governments and law enforcement agencies apply it to identify stolen vehicles, and motorists demand it after they take their cars to some mechanic, plus its useful when choosing a second hand car, so that you can operate a vehicle history report. The insurance industry often uses vehicle identification numbers, too. VINs are generally engraved on aluminum plates, cast or stamped, like a bar code, or perhaps label form, plus they can be found on the car's steering column, doorjamb, driver's door, passenger side door, dashboard, as well as in a vehicle's maintenance book and title.
