WARNING

Unsuitable wheel covers and improper installation of wheel covers can cause accidents and

severe injuries.

ꢀ Improperly installed wheel covers can come loose while driving and endanger other

motorists and cyclists.

Always make sure that the flow of air for brake system cooling is not blocked or reduced
