For show use only—not intended for daily driving or regular road use and cannot be balanced for high-speed driving (above 45 mph). Upon purchase, the buyer assumes all liability and responsibility for proper installation and maintenance, including tightening knock-offs every 40 miles and checking tightness every few weeks. Comes with a limited 1-year structural warranty and a 90-day finish warranty. Silicone seals are not covered under warranty.

Limited Warranty

  • Wheel Structure: 1 year
  • Wheel Finish: 90 days

※Please Read Before Mounting Tires※

  1. No Returns After Tire Mounting:
    •    ㆍWheels cannot be returned due to fitment issues once tires have been mounted.
  2. Caution with Tire Changers:
    •    ㆍPower-assisted tire changers can damage wheels. Please use them with care.
  3. Tube-Type Wire Wheels:
    •    ㆍTubes must be used with tube-type wire wheels.
  4. Stud Length Requirement:
    •    ㆍEnsure that the stud length does not exceed 1 1/8 inches. Excessively long studs may prevent proper tightening of the wheels.
  5. Radial Tire Direction:
    •    ㆍRadial tires must be remounted on the same side of the vehicle from which they were removed.
    •    ㆍDo not change the direction of rotation.
  6. Air Pressure Limit - To ensure safety and proper use of tires, it is essential not to exceed the recommended inflation pressures:
       ㆍ13" to 15" tires: Do not inflate beyond 35 psi.
       ㆍ16" and larger tires: Do not inflate beyond 40 psi.

Check Stud Length:

  •    ㆍIf the stud length exceeds 1 1/8 inches, cut the stud to shorten it or use a spacer behind
  •    ㆍthe adapter to adjust the length.

Ensure Correct Positioning of Hub Adapters:

  •    ㆍVerify that the hub adapter fits flat against the hub and the brake mounting pad.
  •    ㆍIf there is any interference, identify the point of contact and remove any high points.

Proper Adapter Installation:

  •    ㆍOn the left side of the vehicle, install the hub adapter marked "LEFT" with the white mesh thread protector.
  •    ㆍOn the right side of the vehicle, install the hub adapter marked "RIGHT" with the red or brown mesh thread protector.

Important Installation Instructions

  1. Avoid Using High-Impact Wrenches: Do not use high-impact wrenches to secure lug nuts. This can damage the adapter and result in improper lug nuts torque.
  2. Check Adapter Rotation: Once installed, the adapter should rotate freely by hand without rubbing or interference.

Wheel Rotation Test:

  •    ㆍSpin the wheels by hand to ensure there is no rubbing against the brake calipers.
  •    ㆍRock the wheel assembly to confirm that the knock-off cap is fully seated on the wheel.
  •    ㆍEnsure there is no looseness.

Cap Retightening:

  •    ㆍAfter lowering the vehicle, use a lead hammer to firmly tighten the caps by hammering them.
  •    ㆍThere should be no movement, even under the hardest blows from the hammer.
  •    ㆍAfter the initial 25 miles of driving, re-check the tightness of the knock-off caps. Continue to tighten them every 40 miles, then check their tightness every few weeks thereafter
  •    ㆍWire wheels should always be checked regularly to ensure the knock-off caps are properly tightened.
