FAQs
What are the torque specs for protection rings?
Apply anti-seize lubricant on bolt threads for easy removal in wet conditions. Using a ¼ torque wrench, tighten to 5-7 ft lbs. Avoid over-tightening.
Is the coating for the gold bolts updated?
Yes! We've upgraded our hardware from traditional zinc plating to a premium Dacromet finish. This advanced process offers dramatically improved protection against rust, corrosion, and wear. The vibrant gold color is a signature of the Dacromet process and is far more durable than our previous plating. The color will not wear or fade to a clear finish like the old hardware.
Do I need to remove the rings before getting the tire dismounted?
Yes, rings will need to be removed prior to dismounting a tire as the tire machine will need to clamp onto the lip of the wheel.
