Do wheel modifications require registration?
1 Answers
Modifying wheels does not require registration as long as the size remains the same as the original wheels. However, if the size is altered, registration is necessary. If you privately change the wheel size without registering at the vehicle management office, it will definitely fail the annual inspection and is considered illegal. If caught by traffic police, you will be ordered to revert the changes and may face fines and penalty points. According to the motor vehicle registration regulations, any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for registration modification. Upgrading to a quality set of wheels can improve heat dissipation and achieve lightweight goals, offering high visual impact both statically and dynamically, while also enhancing the vehicle's handling performance. Increasing the wheel diameter, width, and lowering the profile can collectively improve the tire's grip.
