Change Velg PCD, Safety Equipment

In the dictionary "automotive slang" is called a lathe PCD. What is it? No other change of distance between the wheel bolts on teromolatau better known as Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD). That was done because the wheels do not fit with the hole you want to install.


Jakarta (Finroll) - By Surya Dharma, Sales & Marketing Manager of PT Elang Prime Tyre Industry, legitimate change the standard PCD, for quality workmanship and the level kepresisiannya awake. And in this way is not new in Indonesia and has been done among the modifiers.

In addition to a lathe, change grub PCD using an adapter or a lathe drum along with his Knuckle. The most often done with a lathe drum. "I would recommend instead of using a lathe drum adapator," said Surya.

Because, with a lathe drum, changes made on his disc brake drum, so that the power was still awake. But things are considered before a standard drum lathe.

* Change is logical. That is, do not exceed the maximum diameter of the drum pringan. Example can be changed to 4x100 PCD PCD 5x114, 3 or 5x112 and 5x120 could not because of insufficient diameter drum.

* Use the center ring. The goal, preventing the vibration that may be caused because the spec racing wheel has five bolt center bolt holes greater than 4. Therefore, use the center ring to center of hole can be fitted with a wheel hub center hole.

* Velg cans. Avoid wearing rim of this type because the uneven surface of the hub. Thus received beben wheel hub so it is not uniform. This will damage the bolts of the changes. Should add spacer.

If you do not want a lathe drum, there is another solution, namely to use an adapter. The advantages, easy to be overhauled so that the PCD could disatndarkan back. Only weakness, the cost of more expensive and more risky than a lathe drum.

The cause, the power adapter is located in the car standard bolts, then bolt on the adapter again planted in accordance with the new PCD holes. As a result, work becomes more severe standard bolts. Nested, if you use the adapter, car dibesut not very fast.
