Tyre
165R15
Tube
Tubeless
The chrome wheels have been tubeless since June 2007; the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since April 2011; and the stainless steel wheels have been tubeless since October 2008.
The black-painted wire wheels have always been tubeless. Tubes are only required if fitting tube-type tyres.
If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 155/165 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15/16″ rim bands.
Warranty
Stainless Steel and Chrome: two year structural and cosmetic
Painted: two year structural and one year cosmetic
The warranty period commences from the date of invoice and is subject to the wheels being maintained as per our Wheel Care advice and in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions. Please retain the warranty tag supplied with each wheel as it contains the information required to identify the wheel in the event of a claim.
Please note: ACWW warranty automatically becomes void if the wheels have been: subject to re-work or change; fitted with tyres other than the manufacturer’s recommended fitment; or used for track events.
