Is it necessary to file for record when modifying car wheels?

[Ria]

Modifying the size of car wheels requires filing for record, while changing the wheel design without altering the size does not. Here is relevant information: 1. Before modification, it is advisable to consult the local vehicle management office to understand the regulations. Otherwise, the vehicle may fail the annual inspection and be ordered to restore the original condition. If the wheel size remains unchanged, the annual inspection can generally be passed, but the appearance should not be altered too significantly unless local policies are extremely strict. 2. According to Article 6 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," modifications such as changes to the vehicle's color, engine replacement, chassis replacement, substandard vehicle body quality, illegal operation, and household registration changes must be reported. Other minor modifications that do not affect performance and use standard production parts do not need to be reported. As long as the wheel size remains the same as the original, the appearance can be changed freely. However, changing the wheel size will result in failing the annual inspection.
