INSTALLATION & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
- Before mounting tires to the wheels, check brake, hub, fender and suspension clearance.
- Mounted wheels cannot be returned.
- Mount tires onto wheels only with equipment specifically designed for alloy wheels.
- Do not use equipment that will scratch, scrape or abrade the wheels. This will void the
warranty.
- Wheel adaptors and spacers are not recommended. If installed, the purchaser assumes all responsibility and liability.
- Use only self adhesive tape weights when balancing. The use of clip on style weights is
not recommended as they can damage the wheel finish and void the warranty.
- Always use the correct type of lug nut.
- Always use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended torque specifications when tightening lug nuts.
- Re-torque the lug nuts after 75-100 miles of driving.
- C5-C6 Corvette - additional installation procedures Corvettes manufactured from 1997 on, except some Z06 models, are equipped with EXTENDED MOBILITY (Run Flat) tires and a LOW TIRE PRESSURE (LTP) monitoring system. If so equipped, the LTP sensor is attached to the valve stem. LTP sensors are positional and must be reinstalled to positions where they were originally located i.e. if the sensor was installed in the wheel located on the right front, it must be returned to the right front. LTP sensors are not marked as to the wheel position they must be installed at (LF, RF, LR, RR) be careful to note the original wheel position of each sensor. When dismounting tires do not break the tire down at the valve stem, damage to the LTP sensor will result. Instead rotate the valve stem 180 degrees away from the tire de-beading tool before breaking down the tire.
Care & Maintenance
- Keeping your wheels clean on a continual (weekly) basis is the best way to maintain their "like new" finish and luster.
- Never clean your wheels while they are hot.
- Water and a mild non-abrasive cleaner is the best solution for cleaning your wheels.
- A good rule of thumb to follow when selecting a cleaning solution is, if it is not safe for
the paint on your vehicle it is probably not safe for your wheels.
- Applying a coat of non-abrasive carnauba based auto wax after cleaning is all the protection your wheels should need.
These installation and care instructions must be given to the retail purchaser.
