Wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. Wheels in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily.

A wheel greatly reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force.

A tyre is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock while keeping the wheel in close contact with the ground.

Maintenance

Your wheels can be the dirtiest part of your vehicle. Constant exposure to the elements as well as corrosive brake dust, dirt, tar, ocean and road salts can cause damage to the finish on your wheels and it is important to clean them often and properly.

·         Buff on a coat of wax, or specially made wheel paint sealer upon installation and after washing to protect and prevent dirt and dust from easily sticking and bonding with the wheels finish.

·         Wash your wheels with a mild soap and water solution. Harsh cleaners can easily strip away the clear coat, or cause staining to the wheel.

·         Never wash a wheel while it is hot. Try cooling them with cold water first.

·         Stay away from automatic car washes, they may use harsh cleaners or stiff brushes that can easily scratch or damage your wheel.

·         Wash one wheel at a time so that soap doesn’t dry and bond to the finish.
