Do I need to register with the DMV when changing car rims?

[DelCarter]

Modifying rims is not allowed in principle, so changing rims also requires registration. Before modification, you can consult the DMV to understand the situation, otherwise it will not pass the annual inspection and you will be ordered to restore the original condition. Extended information: According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": If you change the body color, model, performance, purpose and structure of a licensed motor vehicle, or replace the frame, body or engine, the owner must apply to the DMV for modification registration. If you change rims of the same size, the annual inspection can basically pass, but the appearance should not change too much, unless the local policy is very strict.
