Lightweight The steel/ aluminum hat guarantees about a 15%-30% reduction in the weight of the disc, compared to a standard disc of the same size

Difference in tolerances To further reduce the weight of the disc, the steel hub is manufactured to a thickness of just 2 5 mm compared to the standard 8mm Do not swap The integral disc will add 6 5mm more thickness to the disc hat compared to the original “Two Piece” disc This will decrease the thread engagement of the wheel bolt and alter the clamping load
