17-inch wheel hubs generally weigh around 10.00KG. Below are the specific details about 17-inch wheel hubs: 1. Center Bore (CBD): 57.1mm; Offset (ET value): 40mm; Size (Diameter): 17cm; Width (J value): 7.5cm. 2. Manufacturing Technology: Casting; Bolt Pattern and Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD): 5h*112mm. 3. The wheel hub is the rotating part that connects the tire's inner rim to the wheel center via spokes, i.e., the metal component supporting the tire center mounted on the axle. 4. Also known as wheel rim, steel rim, or simply rim. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material.

I usually drive SUVs and sedans, and there's no one-size-fits-all standard weight for 17-inch wheels. Typically, factory aluminum wheels range between 8 to 12 kilograms. From my experience, lighter wheels can save some fuel and improve braking responsiveness. But material makes a big difference: steel wheels can weigh up to 15 kg, which consumes more fuel; forged aluminum wheels are lighter, around 7 kg, making them better for performance. Remember to match the wheels to your car model when changing them—too light might cause deformation, too heavy makes acceleration sluggish. I also recommend checking the vehicle manual or brand specifications; the right weight ensures smoother and more confident driving.

How to Install ETC in the Car?

ETC device installation steps are as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and On-Board Unit (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and a red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Deactivated" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the protective film on the OBU's adhesive back and attach it to the installation location. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. ETC installation locations: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation location is on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the OBU surface and the horizontal plane).

What are the tips for reversing a semi-trailer?

Before reversing a semi-trailer, adjust the truck head and body to keep them as straight as possible, or tilt the truck head towards the target parking space side. Avoid turning the steering wheel to the extreme; instead, make continuous adjustments while reversing. Key points to note: 1. Check the surroundings: Whether moving forward or reversing, always ensure you have a clear view of the surroundings. If visibility is limited, ask someone to assist with guidance, but keep the guide within your line of sight and maintain a safe distance between the person and the vehicle. 2. Mindset: Maintain a calm and composed attitude regardless of the situation. It's okay to make multiple attempts if you can't get it right the first time, and don't rush even if someone honks or urges you.

How to Tell If the Car You're Buying Meets China 6 Emission Standards?

China 5 emission standard is marked with a "V", while China 6 emission standard is marked with a "Ⅵ", both using Roman numerals. When purchasing a new car, the salesperson will provide a vehicle acceptance form, which includes the model, color, emission standard, engine number, and chassis number. For used cars, you can check the vehicle's full model number on the environmental protection website. Details are as follows: 1. Emission Standards: The symbols for China 1 to China 6 are I, II, III, IV, V, and VI, respectively. China first introduced the China 1 emission standard on July 1, 2000. Since it was based on European emission standards and aligned with international standards, the symbols from China 1 to China 6 also adopted Roman numerals. New emission standards have been introduced every few years since then. 2. China 6 Standard: The "China 6 Standard" is divided into two phases, "China 6a" and "China 6b", with nationwide implementation planned for July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. However, the China 6 standard is extremely stringent, far exceeding Europe's sixth-stage emission standards and the U.S. Tier 3 standard, making it one of the strictest emission standards globally. The implementation period for the China 6 standard will also be longer.

How Long After the Driver's License Medical Exam Can You Take the Theory Test (Subject 1)?

After successfully passing the medical examination for driving school enrollment, in some regions, you can directly schedule the test, while in others, you need to complete approximately 10 days of study hours before you can book the Subject 1 exam. Before scheduling, you should review the Subject 1 study materials and practice test questions. Enrolling in a driving school is only a preliminary registration. After enrollment, the driving school submits your documents to the Vehicle Management Office. Upon successful processing, the office will issue a serial number, indicating successful registration. Once registered, you can proceed to schedule the Subject 1 exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, students should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. At the identity verification station, you will be assigned a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. Failing again requires paying to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts each, with scheduling permitted ten days after a failed attempt. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two components: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
