Frequently Asked Questions

What about spline wear and inspection?

Worn splines can be dangerous! Worn splines on a wheel will quickly wear the good splines on the splined hub of the car; worn splines on the hub of the car will quickly wear the good splines of a new wheel.

On the hubshell of the wheel, the rear-most portion of the splines (about 3/8") will show no wear (as they do not mesh with any splines on the hub of the car). This allows a very visual comparison between the front-most worn splines and the rear-most “new” splines. Also, by gently sliding a finger along the splines of the wheel, you will feel a ridge at the point that the “new” and the worn splines meet.
