Buying alloy wheels is still one of the most popular and easiest ways of jazzing up your car. No other component of a comparable visual effect can be attached so fast to a car and makes a modification so easy.
ABE or ECE
Acronyms rule! To make them more comprehensible, here is our guide to this alphabet soup.
ABE stands for “Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis“. This is mainly issued in Germany for a certain component like, e.g., special wheels, springs, sport-type exhaust systems etc. As long as the installation or attachment instructions therein have been complied with, the car’s operating licence remains valid. Always carry the component’s ABE with you in your car so that you can show it to the police when asked for it.
The green thumb
In an effort to simplify a highly complex subject the configurator has been equipped with a green RECOMMENDED filter. This way, the selection is 100 % technically approved, requires no body works and fits perfectly on the respective car. In addition, the configurator shows the technically matching tyres with the respective certificates (VTA, ECE). If users desire something more extravagant, combined with modifications on the car, they can do so by simply adjusting the certificate filter function settings.
