- Use Genuine parts for the wheel nuts.
- Always adjusting the wheel balance prior to using them. For the balance weights, use Genuine aluminum wheel weights.
- Use caution when handling the aluminum wheels, because they can be easily scratched. When removing dirt, do not use any abrasives, a wire brush, or other items that may scratch the coating. Use a neutral detergent if a detergent is needed.
- After driving on roads scattered with anti-icing salts, wash off the wheels completely.
- When installing road wheels onto the vehicle, always wipe off any dirt or foreign substances to prevent them from being trapped between the contact surfaces of wheel.
