Maintenance and Storage Conditions

Here are some of our recommended tips regarding wheel care.

* Aluminum alloy wheels are susceptible to corrosion when they are expose to salt or mud. Therefore, wash them with water after driving the vehicle on the beach or on a snowy or unpaved road. The use of soft-cloth is suitable when wiping the wheel.

* Do not use chemicals that include abrasive compounds, strong acids or high alkaline content. To select the right cleaning products, please read their product labels and instruction carefully.

* Using car wash equipment could potentially scratch the wheels. It is the best way to wash by hand. When doing so, be careful with sharp edges, which could be hazardous to your hands.

* When storing these wheels/tires for a extended period of time, protect them from direct sunlight, rain, oil, moisture, humidity and high temperature.

* When storing a tire that is mounted on a wheel, you should only keep 1/2 of the air pressure. When re-installation, always check the tire pressure to the recommended level by the tire manufacture.

* Whenever possible please limit or refrain usage of tire shine products, as we have noticed a correlation between the oxidation of wheel lip surfaces and these products.

As shown in the image above, here are some recommended tips for proper cleaning of our wheels:

Step 1)  First, rinse the wheel lightly with water to remove debris and brake dust.

Step 2)  Second, use a microfiber or soft towel while using generous amounts of water to clean the surface of the wheel.

Step 3)  Third, once the surface is clean, use a microfiber or soft towel to dry the wheel to avoid water spotting.  Be careful that you have completely cleaned the surface, otherwise debris could scratch the surface during the drying process.

Step 4)   Lastly, if you maintain this washing process on a normal and consistent basis, your wheels will keep its clean appearance.
