A lot of us have been there. That moment when you drive past a car very similar to yours. They're very much the same but for some reason, that one just stands out a little bit more. 90% of the time, that little something special is wheels! Wheels can make an enormous difference to the appearance of your vehicle but they often do more than that, especially if your Audi sees some track time.
But what are we talking about? Well, join us at our shop or on Facebook February 23rd and find out!
Our Special guest is wheel industry insider Guy Atherton. Guy was with HRE Wheels for 15 years before joining forces to start Anrky Wheels, HRE's first true private label. He will lead the tech talk with a presentation covering the construction of wheels and the benefits of each.
We will have all types of displaywheels to showcase the various wheel construction from cast one piece to cast two piece, between flow formed and forged, one, two and three piece design, as well as CNC forged vs die forged, all of which we are ready to explain and answer your questions on.
Some of the Topics We'll Cover
- Discuss the importance of Ball seat vs. Cone seat
- Did you know that there are different radius of ball seat? R12 vs. R13 vs. R14
- Flow Forged
- Die Forged
- CNC Machined
- Cast
- Stretching tires
- Staggered stretch math. Taking the width of the wheel and tire and measuring the overhang.
- Discuss importance of staying with manufacturer recommended width (minimums/ maximums)
- How to measure for spacers and correct bolt length
- Measuring the free length from the back of the wheel
- Center bore and how it applies to adding spacers.
- Audi has a ridged hub and measuring it is critical.
- Why H&R doesn’t offer a 6mm
While we're on the subject, why not take all that newfound knowledge and get your car the wheels of its and your dreams?
