Question #1
Q: What are the signs that a wheel needs to be replaced?
A: Check for any kind of damage ie. bends or cracks. If you see that your wheel is damaged you would want to replace it immediately. Remember that wheels are a wear item and more importantly a safety item. Knowing that your wheel is going to wear over gives you reason to check and inspect your wheels to ensure you don’t find yourself in a situation where a wheel breaks on track putting yourself and others in danger.
Question #2
Q: In terms of wheel care, how should I take care of my track wheels?
A: Ceramic coating your wheels out of the box is a great way to preserve the finish of your wheels. Whether you ceramic coat them or not you are going to want to clean your wheels frequently to avoid brake dust build up. When cleaning your wheels you want to avoid acidic cleaners.

Question #3
Q: Does the type of finish matter for track wheels?
A: Yes! A full painted wheel will be more durable than something like a machined wheel. A machined face wheel will have a harsher corner, meaning the clear coat would be thinner around spoke corners. Having a full painted wheel will give an additional layer to the face and spokes along with a clear coat on top of that. As you drive around the track you are prone to debris eating up and scratching the face of your wheel and a full painted wheel will give more protection over a period of time.
