Will Replacing Low-Configuration Wheels with High-Configuration Ones Affect Annual Inspection?

[LilyMarie]

Replacing low-configuration wheels with high-configuration ones generally will not pass the annual inspection. In practice, it depends on the strictness of the local vehicle management offices, so it is recommended to consult the local vehicle management office in advance. Typically, the wheels of low-configuration models are smaller than those of high-configuration models. Therefore, replacing low-configuration wheels with high-configuration ones is considered a vehicle modification. If the modified wheels are the same size as the original ones, they can pass the annual inspection. However, if the sizes are different, you will need to register the modification with the vehicle management office. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual 'health check' for the vehicle based on the safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation.
