When the days get shorter and the roads wetter, it’s time to think of those wheels. And not just about changing your summer wheels to winter ones. Most importantly, make sure that all components of a fitted wheel work together perfectly.

A fitted wheel consists of the wheel – or the rim in everyday language –, the matching tyre, and for cars featuring direct tyre pressure monitoring systems, the corresponding TPMS sensor. The wheel ensures the secure connection to the vehicle, while the tyres transmit the forces to the road. That’s why, tyre tread, condition, and correct air pressure are key.The tyre pressure monitoring systems, or TPMS in short, controls tyre pressure and gives a warning in the event of pressure loss. Direct systems work with sensors built into the wheel while indirect systems use the car’s anti-locking system sensors. Before changing wheels, you must check which system your car is using and whether sensors must be tested, programmed or relearnt. Here, it pays off to visit a specialised workshop.

The wheel surface plays another important role in winter. Dampness, dirt, grit, and road salt put heavy strain on rims. DEZENT rims featuring SRC (Salt & Sun Resistant Coating) provide excellent protection against corrosion and weather conditions owing to a multi-layer paint process, ensuring a long-lasting flawless look and perfectly easy care.
