Installation Guide
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and performance of your TIS 547B wheels. It is highly recommended that wheel installation be performed by a qualified professional using appropriate tools and safety procedures.
General Installation Steps:
- Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, the parking brake is engaged, and wheel chocks are used. Use a jack and jack stands to safely lift and support the vehicle.
- Remove Old Wheels: Loosen lug nuts, lift the vehicle, remove lug nuts completely, and carefully remove the old wheel.
- Inspect Hub Surface: Clean the vehicle's hub mounting surface to remove any rust, dirt, or debris that could prevent the new wheel from seating properly.
- Mount New Wheel: Carefully align the TIS 547B wheel with the vehicle's studs and slide it onto the hub. Ensure the wheel is flush against the mounting surface.
- Install Lug Nuts: Hand-tighten lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure the wheel is centered.
- Lower Vehicle & Torque: Lower the vehicle until the tires just touch the ground. Using a torque wrench, tighten the lug nuts to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque settings in a star pattern. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for correct torque specifications.
- Final Check: Fully lower the vehicle. After driving approximately 50-100 miles, re-check the lug nut torque to ensure they remain properly tightened.

Usage and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TIS 547B wheels, adhere to the following guidelines:

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the appearance and integrity of your gloss black wheels.
- Routine Cleaning: Wash wheels regularly with mild soap and water using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Stubborn Dirt: For brake dust or stubborn grime, use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner specifically designed for gloss finishes. Follow the product instructions carefully and avoid letting the cleaner dry on the wheel surface.
- Drying: Dry the wheels immediately after washing with a clean microfiber towel to prevent water spots.
- Protection: Consider applying a wheel sealant or wax to protect the finish and make future cleaning easier.

Troubleshooting
While TIS wheels are built for durability, certain issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and general troubleshooting tips:
- Vibration After Installation: This often indicates an unbalanced wheel or improper installation. Re-check lug nut torque, ensure the wheel is properly seated, and have the wheels professionally balanced.
- Unusual Noise: Squeaking or grinding noises could indicate issues with brake components or loose wheel bearings. Consult a professional mechanic.
- Air Leakage Around Rim: This could be due to improper tire bead seating, a damaged tire, or a bent rim. Have the wheel and tire inspected by a tire professional.
- Cosmetic Damage: Scratches or chips in the finish can be touched up with appropriate paint, but significant damage may require professional repair or replacement.
