Does changing the rims affect vehicle inspection?
1 Answers
Changing the rims does not affect the vehicle inspection, but replacing the rims with ones that are different from the original may affect the annual inspection. Without the approval of the public security traffic management department, any unauthorized modifications to the vehicle's chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tires and rims, lights, body color painting, and exterior structure, as well as any technical data of the vehicle that does not match the data announced by the State Council's vehicle product authority, are considered modifications. The items checked during the annual inspection include: 1. Exterior inspection, including the vehicle's license plate, vehicle type, brand and model, body color, engine number, VIN code, frame number, and main characteristic parameters. 2. Inspection of details such as the bumper, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, and paint surface. 3. Inspection of the engine compartment, driver's cabin, engine operation condition, light signals, and detailed checks of the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. 4. On-site testing to sequentially check the performance of various mechanical systems of the vehicle, including exhaust emissions, brakes, chassis, side slip, horn, speed, and lights.
