37 billion
wheels in the world—way more than the number of doors.
Can you leave a Lyft bike anywhere?
The same way you would dock a classic bike. Lock to any public bike rack within the designated service area. At the end of your ride,

Do rims make a difference?
Why Rims Matter
Changing the size of the rims can alter the look;
bigger rims make the vehicle look bigger and beefier, while smaller rims lower the profile and make it look sleeker and faster
. Rims do more than make the vehicle look cool. A quality set of rims will enhance the performance and give a smoother ride.
What's the difference between 16 and 17 inch wheels?
The smaller 16-inch wheels come with tyres that have larger sidewalls that act as cushions against sharp edges on the roads, like ruts and potholes
. While 17-inch tyres look much better, the shorter sidewalls aren't as good in filtering out road shocks.
What rim size is best for performance?
For most standard tire sizes, the optimum rim width factor is
between 0.8 and 0.9 of the tire section width
for ideal performance and if the tire is used with lowest inflation pressure. For normal usage, tires work properly on rims from 0.7 to 0.95 of tire section width.
Do bigger rims affect gas mileage?
For any given speed, wheels with wider widths and larger diameters will increase momentum. This means more torque will be needed and hence more fuel will be consumed by the engine.
Unless the larger diameter wheels are of a lightweight design, upsizing will affect fuel economy adversely
.
Are 17 or 18-inch wheels better?
It comes down to more subjective measures, apparently.
The smaller 17-inch tires represent the most comfortable ride thanks to the larger sidewall
. The 18-inch tires create a bit more road noise, and this is further exacerbated when the car jumps up to the 19-inch wheels and tires.
What is the advantage of 18-inch wheels?
Pros of 18-Inch Wheels and Tires

more flexible than ones with a smaller sidewall
. Your tires act as shock absorbers and can provide a greater cushion when going over bumps and potholes.
