Aluminum rims

— the most popular option due to the combination of light weight, strength, and corrosion resistance. They are made from 6061 or 7005 alloys, have good stiffness, and effectively transfer forces during riding and braking. Such rims do not rust, are affordable, and often have double walls for increased strength. With strong impacts, aluminum can crack rather than bend, so it's important to choose models with reinforced construction. Aluminum rims are widely used on road, mountain, city, and touring bikes, combining practicality, reliability, and low weight.
