Racing wheels
Due to their fast-paced nature, racing wheels experience a higher amount
of wear and tear than regular tires. To prevent dangerous blow-outs,
these wheels must be inspected regularly because an otherwise-normal
blemish could prove hazardous out on the track.
Motegi, a manufacturer of racing wheels, recommends cleaning your tires
everyday–especially if you live in a snowy environment. Road film
and salt (used to melt snow) are corrosive to metals, so removing it
is very important. The company recommends using a soft brush and non-abrasive
cleaner.
Motegi also boasts different coatings for their racing wheels: chrome,
clear and Teflon. Chrome has a brilliant sheen and it’s a very
popular option for those who want to bring attention to their vehicles.
However, Teflon-coated wheels don’t require the attention that
chrome does; they are made to withstand the elements.
