1 Answers
The difference between 16-inch and 17-inch wheels lies in their size: a 16-inch wheel has a diameter of 40.64 centimeters, while a 17-inch wheel has a diameter of 43.18 centimeters. A wheel hub refers to the cylindrical metal component inside the tire that supports it, with its center mounted on the axle. It is also known as a rim or steel ring. The wheel hub is an important part that connects the brake drum or brake disc, wheel disc, and axle. It works with the tire to support the wheel and also determines the tire specifications. Methods for maintaining wheel hubs include: 1. Avoid using cold water for cleaning when the temperature is high; 2. If the vehicle is parked in a damp location for an extended period, regular cleaning is necessary to prevent salt corrosion.
