Light alloy wheels are protected from corrosion by a clear varnish. Be careful not to damage the varnish coating. If the coating is damaged, apply a layer of varnish to the wheel.

To prevent the wheel disks from sticking to the hub, before installing the wheel, apply a thin layer of grease to the hub flange that centers the disk.

Galvanized wheel bolts can only be used on stamped steel wheels.

Light alloy wheels are secured only with chrome plated bolts with a conical rotating washer installed under the bolt head. It protects the surface of the wheel when tightening the bolts.

Do not lubricate the threads of the wheel mounting bolts before screwing them in.

Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in several steps diagonally.
