Wheels: Service Precautions

STRAIGHTENING WHEELS, RIMS OR COMPONENTS

Do NOT heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening to repair damage from striking curbs, etc. The special alloy used in these
wheels is heat-treated and uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material. Do NOT weld the wheels for any reason.

ALUMINUM WHEEL CLEANING

CAUTION:  Do not use steel wool, abrasive-type cleaner or strong detergents containing highly alkaline or caustic agents as damage to the
protective coating and discoloration may result.
