Instructions for White band Trims - Read fully before fitting.
Trims can be fitted to any type of wheel- alloy, steel or wire. Where low-profile tires are fitted, there must be at least 3 inches (75mm) of sidewall for correct fitting. We recommend that new tyres are driven on first as being brought up to full operating temperature a few times helps sweat off the waxy mould release that new tyres are coated in.
1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle and fully deflate the tire. The tire sidewall, especially underneath the outer rim, should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt or residue of the tire bead lubricant. This is best done with buffering solvent or something similar such as panel wipe or break and clutch cleaner. DO NOT use methylated spirit, white spirit or turpentine as they are totally unsuitable for this purpose. Hot water, detergent and a scrubbing brush will also work but this takes a lot longer and needs more 'elbow grease'!
2. Place the wheel flat on a stable work surface. There in no need to push the bead off the rim but while pushing down on the sidewall with one hand, begin inserting the inner edge of the trim (seating lip) between the rim and the sidewall. Move around the rim repeating this until the seating lip is gripped all around the rim, taking care not to stretch or bunch the trim at all as you go.
3. Finish off by using a rubber mallet or you fist tap the trim into the correct position, with none of the seating lip remaining visible. Inflate the tire to the normal pressure.
