› CARE FOR CUSTOM WHEELS DURING WINTER
Custom Wheels can provide years of service with the proper care. The best possible option for Custom Wheels in severe winter climates is the use of OE or snow wheels with winter tires. If, however, you choose to run your Custom Wheels through the winter months, it is very important to exercise a regular maintenance program. Many of the communities in the Northern United States use salt or strong chemical deicers during snow and icy conditions. These elements can be very caustic and can corrode the metal parts on
your vehicle, including the wheels. For best protection against corrosion, wash your vehicle thoroughly once a week, but at a minimum, once a month.
This simple practice will aid in the prevention of pre-mature wear on the vehicle’s finish And your custom wheels.
