What Are the Types of Wheel Hubs?

Different surface treatment processes are applied to wheel hubs, which can be roughly divided into two types: painted and electroplated. Here are the detailed descriptions: 1. Painted Wheel Hubs: Painted wheel hubs are moderately priced and durable. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of the wheel hubs is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process mainly involves painting, i.e., spraying followed by baking, which is cost-effective and results in vibrant colors that last a long time. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the wheel hubs remains unchanged. 2. Electroplated Wheel Hubs: Electroplated wheel hubs can be further categorized into silver electroplating, water electroplating, and pure electroplating. Although silver electroplated and water electroplated wheel hubs have bright and vivid colors, they tend to fade relatively quickly, making them more affordable and popular among young people who seek novelty.
