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.
