Cleaned Inside of Wheels
 

I just did all of mine on my SRT 6. I highly reccomend this. They look brand new now. I can't stop walking by and looking INTO the wheel now.

It took about 5 hours to do all four and wax them but WELL worth it.

Re: Cleaned Inside of Wheels
 

I can't beleive you let them get dirty in the first place.

Shame. Shame...;)

Well, I guess most normal people don't. But Crossfire owners aren't most people. My wheels come off at least monthly. Because I race my car, it's a necessity. I'm constantly bleeding the brakes and checking the pads and suspension for wear or damage and while the wheels are off, well, they have to be cleaned! For balance, weight, beauty, etc. My pads are not dust free but holy cow do they grip!

Hey Les,

What torque should our lugs be at? I just want to be sure that I am not too tight or lose. Thanks.

Re: Cleaned Inside of Wheels
 

Lug bolts are torqued to 81ft/lbs??? my memory might be off.....

Re: Cleaned Inside of Wheels
 

I torque mine to 85 ft. lbs. With all the abuse I give them they've never come loose. Just be sure the hub centric rings seat flush or you may have a weird wobbly wheel. It happened to me on the first instal. I pulled back into my parking and found my brain damaged error. If you over torque (like tire shops do) you can damage the threads. I've had to tap a few of mine and clean threads on the lugs from idiots with air wrenches. They like to hammer them on way too tight.

what kind of rims on that blue crossfire?

Re: Cleaned Inside of Wheels
 

Mike's rims are AMG's I think....MB or AMG...one or the other...He will correct me, count on it...

Re: Cleaned Inside of Wheels
 

My buddy said most of the gunk on the rims is from cheap brake pads. I paid for the $70 front brake pads at O'Reilly's. So we'll see. Wagner or something like that. He also said don't cheap out on brake pads.
