Handling Wheel RimsAvoid damaging wheel rims- Missing hubcaps or wheel bolt caps can lead to damage to the wheel rims and wheel bolts.- Fit missing hubcaps before every journey.- Drive over kerbs and other low obstacles slowly and at right angles so that the two front wheels come into contact with the obstacle at the same time.- Replace missing dust caps on the valves immediately.- Check the tyre pressure regularly.
