The original wheel drive does not suit all car owners, but many of them are changing them to "nervous". However, before you start to pick up, you should be aware of the options that you need to consider when you are selecting a disk drive, and how to replace the disks might affect the warranty. Why change CDs?

Why change CDs?

Most often, the owners of the car swap are changing the original discs for extraordinary purely aesthetic reasons. The designers are working on the creation of disks (especially LTL); each producer tries to allocate its products from a common row of some interesting features.

In ancient China, the wheel was a symbol of health and prosperity. The wheel diameter was directly proportional to its power and position in society. The more the man is powerful, the more his wheel ...

The car owners, in turn, install more attractive "spawners" discs to admire their appearance and catch interested views of passers-by while driving. In 99 per cent of the cases, there is no substitute.

Marking of wheel discs

Many motorists are sure that it is necessary to know only the width of the rim of the product, its departure and the number of holes to fastening the discs. In fact, the parameters are much larger, and it is easy to find the disks today, for example, with this marking: 6.5Jx15 P2 5/114, 3 ET60 D-57. It is decrypted as follows:

6.5 is the width of the rim of the disc, measured in inches, that is, the part on which the tyre is directly fitted;

J is the profile of the onboard painting;

x is the unborn rim (the sampling rim is only found on sports models);

15 is the nominal seating diameter. The diameter of the disc shall be equal to the tyre diameter of the tyre; there shall be no discrepancy between these figures;

The H2 character indicates the presence of the champs (hump)-small circumference of the disc to its cranes), and the figure is their number (in this case two). The basic purpose of the hammps is the fixation of the bameless tyre on the rim;

5 is the number of disk mounting holes.

114.3 is the diameter of the symbol circle, measured in millimetres, which passes through the centres of all the mounting holes;

ET60 is a disc flight, a very important parameter that defines the distance from the private plane (plane of the disc to the hub) to the imaginary plane of the rim of the rim;

D-57 is the diameter of the central hole (mm).

What to pay attention to when selecting disks

The main difficulty of selecting "spawners" discs is that some of their parameters may differ from the staff. However, in the case of one specification, the other is entirely excluded.

Contrary to popular belief, light-alloy disks rust. The aluminium alloy process from which the discs are made is called electrochemical corrosion

Thus, the rim width may vary within a certain range, as it is dependent on the width of the tire mounted on the bus, and most models allow for 1.5 to 2 inches of "wall plug" (for example, 205 /55R16).

As to the diameter of the disc, the manufacturer generally allows for the installation of disks within 1 to 2 diameters. In fact, by reducing the tyre profile, you can install more disk drives by 1 to 4 diameter, but you need to try on the larger disks before you buy them-they may not fit in the wheel arch.

Car and Driver studies show that car fuel efficiency declines with the increase in the diameter of wheel drives

The disk drive out can be without harming the car only to the lesser side. If the flight is increased, the load on the suspension and bearings will increase, which may lead to the need for an early replacement. In addition, a departure from a normal flight may result in a rim flange on the suspension or extension. This is especially true of the front, the turning wheels.

Parameters such as the number of mounting holes and the diameter of the central hole of the disc are almost always unchanged when using both original and "non-single" disks. The failure to comply with the diameters of the central hole can cause a lot of trouble: even if the difference is "just" 2 mm, once the drive is installed on the wheel, it will not be able to be hundredweight. In this case, the wheel will vibrate, which may lead to the unwinding of the wheel nuts or bolts.

All parameters are met and the disk is not in place

It is rare, yet there is a situation where the discs that are ideally suited to all the parameters specified by the plant are still not suitable for the braking mechanisms or suspension parts. This can be caused by a form of a disk. This is most often the case with cars equipped with powerful brake mechanisms.

Warranty and "spawnable" disks

In the vast majority of cases, dealers do not approve of the use of "non-single" disks on their sold vehicles. Therefore, if you come with them to the next one, this could lead to the loss of the guarantee on the suspension.

The first company offering "non-original" wheel discs in Europe was the English firm Wolfrace. In order to sell automotive products that are associated with a risk to human life, a national technical inspection is needed on the territory of Europe

It is important to know that no warranty service can be provided to you only if you determine that the failure of the vehicle's chassis is connected to the installation of "non-single" disks.

Thanks to the large assortment of freelic disks presented on the market today, the car owners have a very wide choice of choice for their car. However, it is very important to keep the factory parameters because, for example, the excess of acceptable dimensions can lead to the friction of a wheel disc about the parts of the propelling vehicle and the rapid failure of the wheel. It is recommended that wheel drive wheels should be selected in the presence of a specialist, even if you have extensive knowledge on this subject.
