NOTE:

This information applies to any model equipped with Chrome Clad Wheels.

DISCUSSION:

Models equipped with Chrome Clad wheels require specific piloting on balance equipment to properly center the wheel and prevent damage to the

chrome clad surface. The chrome cladding is not removable or replaceable and has cladding tabs that extend into the wheel bore. Traditional

high-taper cones will come into contact with the cladding tabs rather than properly seat on the hub bore chamfer. Many modern aluminum wheel

designs cannot be mounted with traditional cones. Direct-Fit Collets should be used to properly mount clad wheels on balance equipment (Fig 1).
