Special Wheel Installation Guide

Please read this guide carefully and share it with all personnel involved in converting your vehicle with special wheels.

Check if the wheels were damaged during transport and report any damage immediately to the shipping provider.
Compare the delivery contents with your order.
Verify all necessary components are included (wheel bolts/nuts, centering rings according to approval documents).
Ensure the wheels are approved for your vehicle (check ABE or TÜV certificate).
Notify us immediately in writing if the delivery doesn't match your order.
Please note: Returns of wheels after tire mounting are not accepted.

This section doesn't apply if you ordered complete wheels.

Mounting must be performed by qualified personnel (e.g., with wdk certification).
Follow the wdk mounting instructions for UHP and runflat tires.
For directional tires: Observe the rotation direction (marked on the tire sidewall).
For asymmetric tires: The outer shoulder must face the outside of the vehicle.
For direct TPMS: Check sensors and replace if necessary, observe tightening torque.

This section doesn't apply if you ordered complete wheels.

Use appropriate mounting tools (type mounting flange with rear centering).
Never clamp the wheel from the front with a cone at the cap seat - this damages the coating!
Use adhesive weights exclusively. Minimum clearance to brake components: 2 mm.
If runout is poor during balancing: Improve by "matching" during tire mounting.

Preparation:
- Secure vehicle against rolling
- Loosen wheel fasteners (bolts/nuts) before lifting
- Lift vehicle with a lift (recommended)
Remove wheels:
- Completely remove fasteners and take off wheels
- Check and clean wheel hub surfaces
- Install centering rings if required
Install new wheels:
- For staggered setups, observe different sizes for front/rear axles
- Install wheels one by one and hand-tighten fasteners
- Tighten in crisscross pattern (see tightening sequence)
Final tightening:
- Tighten with torque wrench (vehicle lifted or slightly lowered)
- Block brakes (e.g., with brake pedal holder)
- Observe manufacturer's torque specifications
- Tighten in same crisscross pattern
Final steps:
- Set tire pressure according to manufacturer specifications
- Check tire pressure monthly
- For direct TPMS: Initialize sensors
- For indirect TPMS: Reset system

Safety Instructions

Use a type mounting flange with rear centering to avoid damage.

Never clamp the wheel from the front with a cone - this damages the wheel coating and leads to inaccurate results!
