Retrofit mistake:
1. Buy cheap fakes
The modification of the wheel is a relatively important step in the automobile modification. Whether it is the appearance modification or the improvement of the handling performance, the wheel has played an important role in it. A high-quality wheel, after the strict manufacture craft and the strict inspection, ensures its individuality parameter index to be qualified. Of course, a set of genuine wheels are not cheap, domestic production and domestic sales (there are export products) of the few enterprises, so the price of imported wheels are more expensive. Therefore, in order to save costs, many modified players have chosen the so-called“Domestic” and“Taiwan-made” fake wheels. This is completely undesirable. If the fake wheels are produced by“Small workshops,” Although the appearance and genuine wheels are not much different, but in the weight, strength and other aspects are far from the safety indicators, it's not uncommon for players to have unexplained cracks and deformations in their“Knock-off” wheels, and fakes aren't strong enough to support such a heavy load at high speeds, if the phenomenon of high-speed burst, will directly affect the safety of drivers and passengers! Therefore, the special reminder, if the economic conditions temporarily do not allow the case, please carefully choose modified hub, although the original“Steel ring”, “Cast hub” may not be beautiful and lightweight enough, but at least there are security guarantees. The general properties of hub are forged hub & GT; Cast Hub & GT; Steel Hub.
2. The wheels weren't properly selected
The effect of the hub on improving the appearance is obvious, but every detail must be taken into account when selecting the hub. The various parameters of the hub will affect the use of the hub and the vehicle, incorrect PCD values may prevent proper installation. Et values may not only affect installation and use, but may also affect future upgrades. For example, a single piston brake system on an original vehicle, future owners intend to upgrade it up to the piston brake system, ET value and wheel size is too small will affect the normal installation, so in the upgrade of the brake system, and the second consumption to replace or upgrade the wheel.
3. The hub is not installed correctly
When many unscrupulous businessmen provide modified wheels, they will not even tell the owner the size of the center hole diameter. If this size is smaller than the original size, it is naturally impossible to install, however, if it is larger than the original factory size and no comparative measures have been taken, it will cause a different situation when the vehicle is running, causing the abnormal sound and vibration of the vehicle, serious situation will directly affect the safety of vehicles. If you really like the wheel you like, but there is no suitable center hole size, if the size is too small, you can reaming, and the size is too large, some manufacturers can choose to provide the center hole ring to correct.
4. Think Bigger is better
Some people think that modifying large-size wheels is called upgrading, while others think that large-size wheels have a better sense of visual impact, but whether it is visual or performance or choose to fit their own vehicle wheel size for moderate. In terms of appearance, too large size of the wheel, but people feel that the top-heavy feet, affect the overall feeling. In terms of performance, there is a need for a balance, large-sized wheels, in conjunction with tyre upgrades, to choose larger, wider tyres, wide tyres provide a more stable grip at the same time, the powerful friction will make your car start very slowly, and fuel consumption has been significantly increased, and the wheel size is too large, other parameters do not make adjustments, for the vehicle's steering also has a great impact, every car has a wheel size limit, if the pursuit of size, then the performance and Control will have to pay a lot of sacrifice. Not only that, from the cost-effective perspective, the same type of wheel with the same material, the larger the size of the price, and the corresponding tire size also need to increase, the price will rise.

Maintenance method
Aluminum alloy wheel with its beautiful and generous, safe and comfortable features won the favor of more and more private car owners. Almost all of the new models use aluminum alloy wheels, and many owners will also be used in the car with the original steel wheel into aluminum alloy wheels. Here, to introduce the maintenance of aluminum alloy wheel: 1, when the wheel temperature is high, should let its natural cooling after cleaning, must not use cold water to clean. Otherwise, will make aluminum alloy wheel damage, and even make the brake disc deformation and affect the braking effect. In addition, cleaning aluminum alloy wheel with detergent at high temperature will cause chemical reaction on the surface of the wheel, lose luster and affect the appearance. 2. If there is hard-to-remove tar on the wheel hub, try to remove it with a brush if common detergents don't help, private car owners to introduce a kind of clear tar recipe: that is, the choice of medicinal“Active oil” rub, can get unexpected results, may wish to try. 3, if the place where the vehicle is wet, the wheel should be frequently cleaned to avoid salt corrosion of the aluminum surface. When necessary, clean and polish the wheel to make it Shine Eihō.
