Tips about how to identify whether the hub is original wheel hub.

How to make your normal car a little different? Peel? Maybe too vulgar. Change the color? It could affect second hand car hedge ratio.

The most convenient and effective way to enhance the visual effect of vehicles is to change a dynamic hub, which is not too high-profile. If you just buy an original good-looking hub, you won’t have these problems.

Hubs in Auto Parts City are usually cheap but hard to identify its authenticity.

Check workmanship

Usually, hubs made by imitation or vice factory are rough. As the vice factory hub mold precision is not high, so there can be prickly burrs. Because of cost, hubs from original factory will be painted the same color while hubs from imitation or vice factory are not so they have great chromatic aberration. It’s very easy to identify a original or vice factory hub from appearance and workmanship.

Check fonts inside hub

No matter the hub is made by original or vice factory, there are brands, place of origin, ET value and other data inside the hub. The font of original factory can’t be imitated. So when buying hubs, you can compare them with the original hubs in your car. If the fonts are different, you’d better not buy them.

Check weight

Due to different cost and techniques, hubs made by vice factory have different weight from hubs made by original factory. As a result, you can compare weight of hubs you want to buy with your original ones. If weights are different, there are certainly some problems with the hubs.

Check price

No matter original hubs or scrap hubs, the price won’t be low. For example, hub of Mercedes Benz S600 costs about 2000 yuan in Auto Parts City while hub from vice factories is only several hundred yuan. If the given price is too low or seller give you a bargain, there must be some problems.

Damage of hubs made by vice factory

Hubs made by vice factory are worse in manufacture techniques and cost than original factory so some will leak air. The reason is that the technique of vice factory is backward and the defective rate is high so that hubs with sand holes will be sold on market. It has another deadly disadvantage. Its strength is poor because vice factory uses worse material than original factory. Therefore, the strength can not be compared with the original wheel hub. In the same section of the road, the wheel hub made by vice factory is more likely to be twisted and broken, which is deadly dangerous for passengers.
