Installing alloy wheels has quickly become a widespread aftermarket option for vehicles. It involves additional cost of getting a mechanic to mount the tires on the new rims and fix them to the vehicle. Installing new alloys onto your vehicle at home is possible with a few basic tools, with the inclusion of placing the tires on the new rims. The simple details that ensure that your car always stays in perfect shape without any embarrassing sounds and detracting looks, can sometime turn out to be an uphill task. This is especially if you do not understand anything mechanical. Helo wheels are alloy product, but the best thing about them is that they come along with an easy to follow user’s guide. That will give you a step by step explanation of what you need to do. However, if you require an expert, fitting a pair of alloy wheels can easily be done even with a local area mechanic. Here are a few simple steps which you need to keep in mind to ensure that your wheel is properly fixed: • Ensure that the car is raised on a jack to give you room to remove the old one, then using a socket set or spanner unscrew the wheels. • Remove the wheels then deflate the tires, this is one way of easing the removal process. • Remove the connection that exists between the rim and the tires using a pry bar and ensure that you find your way all round the wheel applying a dish detergent as a lubricator. Fix the tires on the new rims simply by lubricating the inner part of the tire with the dish detergent and the pry bar - this needs application of some force. • You will then need to inflate the tire using a foot pump to get to pressure as advised by the manufacturer, and finally remount the tire to the vehicle, tighten the nuts and then you can continue with the steps for the other wheels. Finally, you need to ensure that the new rims you buy will fits your vehicle properly. A number of cars and trucks can have the rims increased by up to 4 inches. If you intend to increase the size of the wheels may need to buy new tires. Helo wheels, just like any other pair of helo wheel manufactured by any other material, are easy to fit and maintain if you follow these key pointers.
