Description:
Wheels can be made of steel,
aluminum
or various alloys. Steel wheels often
have a wheel cover affixed to the outer
edge for appearance.
Purpose:
Wheels support the tire and must be able to withstand
loads from acceleration, braking and cornering.
Aluminum
and alloy
wheels also serve
an aesthetic purpose and dress up the vehicle’s
appearance.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions:
Wheels
should be cleaned frequently using a suitable wheel cleaner. Use extreme care
not to use any abrasive pads or cleaners that may
remove the protective coating and scratch the
wheels. It’s best to clean the wheels while they’re cool.
Clean one at a time and rinse
all cleaner away. Wheel cleaner should not be allowed to
sit on wheels for extended periods.
