Modular Wheel Inspection and Maintenance
Two & Three piece modular wheels require periodic maintenance. You'll want to work out your own maintenance schedule, but here's an example of what the manufacturer recommends.
Each Season disassemble, thoroughly inspect, clean, re-seal, and re-torque each wheel:
Replace wheel bolts each season
Wheel Bolt Torque:
1/4" bolts 15 ft/lbs. or 180 in./lbs
5/16" bolts 20 ft/lbs.
After thoroughly cleaning all mating surfaces with an appropriate cleaner, add a thin skim coat of silicone sealant to these surfaces, assemble wheel and torque bolts to recommended torque
Install a new valve stem
Add a thick coat of silicone sealant to the drop center area of the wheel and let it cure for 24 hours before initial use

****ing WORD. It's not about being so patient and doing it right.. it's about knowing that your signature is on the work and you want your best represented.
I got some sportmax's for you soon Bucky... little curb nippage on one of them.
