Wheel Care

Great wheels deserve great care; here are some tips to help you get the most from your Circle wheels.

1.   Do I need to do anything to my new Circle Racing Wheels   before I can use them?
ALWAYS remove the powdercoat from the       coined lug seat area prior to using the wheel       for the first time. Powdercoat between the lug nut       and wheel will cause the lug nut to loosen.       CRW recommends this type of pilot brush:

2.   Can I use lug nuts from a street car?
      With our steel wheels, CRW recommends using the highest quality steel racing lug nuts only.
      Lug nuts should be hardened and have a 45 degree taper on 5/8 lug or a 60 degree on a 1/2 lug.

3.   Is there anything special I should know about mounting my race wheel on the car?
      All Circle Racing Wheels are lug centered. Make sure all lug nuts are in place and seated into
      the coined lug seat area to properly center your wheel before torquing. Tightening one lug nut
      before installing all five could mount the wheel off-center and damage your wheel.

4.   What do I use to clean my wheels?
      CRW recommends using soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use brake cleaner, carburetor
      cleaner, etching-type wheel cleaners, or any harsh chemicals. Using these chemicals will
      cause damage to the finish.
