^ How do edit the title? Pressed shift+enter and it posted like this :/

Installation Tips & tricks:


1) Place them in the refrigerator @ 2~3degree Celsius for an hour before installing them. The pressure is quite less when cold'er. Judging from the CAE simulation RE thermal expansion. Just makes it a tad easier to press-in.

2) Hook up the 2 bottom tabs and slightly press downward while clamping them at the same time. If you try to align all the tabs flush and push-in straight, as you'd normally do with a traditional cap, you are going to sweat your arm I promise.

3) Clean with normal carwash soap, rinse with tap water. No additional maintenance required.


NOT TO DO

1) Can't use aluminum polisher on anodized aluminum. They shine now; meaning they will for the next 20+ years.

2) The crest/badge have been clear coated to protect it from the elements, avoid heavy solvents on that part.

3) Can't use acidic-based Wheel Cleaner anymore (e.g. those magic commercial heavy duty wheel cleaner). That will strip your anodized color, dry your brake holes, and damage brake pad material, etc etc etc
