Composite Wheels
| Composite wheels consist of various parts. |
| The primary components are rims and wheel discs. These
components are fastened to each other with special screws and a
special procedure. This ensures the wheel's function, proper
seal, safety and true running. These important requirements
cannot be guaranteed under shop conditions and using shop tools. |
