Wheels with steel rims
Tubeless tires are mounted on steel wheels with a width of 5.5 or 6.5 inches and a diameter of 16 inches.
Alloy wheels
The cast aluminum alloy wheels are 7.0 inches wide and 16 inches in diameter and are fitted with tubeless tires. The surface has a paint coating with a clear layer of polyurethane varnish. When handling the wheel, be careful to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the coating. The rim of the alloy wheel has an asymmetrical safety ring on the seat shelf, which improves the fit of the tire bead on the wheel. If difficulties arise when installing tires on this type of rim. See.
