It's common for car wheel rims to get very hot, especially during long-distance driving. This is caused by the heat generated when air is compressed inside the tire during driving, which isn't a serious problem and doesn't affect the rim itself. However, if the temperature gets too high, it can lead to a tire blowout. If driving long distances in hot weather, you should stop midway to allow the tires to cool down, or use water to help cool them. Therefore, when stopping at a service area on a long trip, check if the wheel rims are hot (heating is normal). If the temperature is excessively hot, it could be due to: insufficient clearance between the brake pads and the rim or the rim being seized; insufficient lubrication or damage to the wheel bearings; frequent braking; or low tire pressure.
The wheel bearing plays a crucial role in reducing frictional resistance during chassis operation and maintaining normal vehicle operation. Therefore, wheel bearings must be maintained regularly. How to protect wheel rims? The wheel rims of high-end cars are mostly made of aluminum alloy. These rims look beautiful, but they are also quite delicate. To maintain the beautiful appearance of your wheels, besides taking extra care to prevent accidental damage while driving, regular maintenance and upkeep are also essential.
If possible, perform a thorough cleaning once a week.
1. Wash away sand and dirt that can easily damage the wheel surface. Otherwise, the alloy surface will corrode and become damaged.
2. Treat the inner and outer surfaces of the wheel rims with an acid-resistant cleaner. Ideally, wax the wheels every two months to extend their lifespan.
