What You Need & Why You Need It

What You Need & Why You Need It

Upgrading your wheels? That’s only the beginning. Without the right accessories, your new setup could cause vibration, poor handling, or worse—dangerous wheel loosening. At Torqen, we believe knowledge is power, so we’ve broken down every key wheel accessory we offer, and why it’s essential for safety, performance, and fitment.


⚙️ 1. Wheel Spacers

Purpose: Push wheels outward for better clearance, stance, and handling.
Why You Need Them:

  • Flush your wheels with the fenders

  • Clear coilovers or wide brake calipers

  • Increase track width for improved stability

Types:

  • Slip-on: Simple, lightweight (use with extended studs)

  • Bolt-on: Integrated studs, ideal for thicker applications

Torqen Advantage: All our spacers are hub-centric, corrosion-resistant, and torque tested.


🔩 2. Lug Nuts / Lug Bolts

Purpose: Secure the wheels to your hub—safely and stylishly.
Why You Need the Right Ones:

  • Wrong thread pitch = stripped hubs

  • Wrong seat = unsafe fitment

  • Cheap metal = breakage risk

Materials We Offer:

  • Forged Steel

  • Forged Aluminum

  • Titanium (ultralight and ultra-strong)

Finishes Include: Black, chrome, blue, gold, neo-chrome, and burnt titanium.


🌀 3. Hub Centric Rings

Purpose: Eliminate vibration from mismatched wheel hub sizes.
Why You Need Them:
Aftermarket wheels often have universal center bores—hub rings bridge the gap for a vibration-free ride.

Available Materials:

  • Polycarbonate: Lightweight, great for daily use

  • Aluminum: Best for heat resistance and motorsport applications


📟 4. TPMS Sensors

Purpose: Monitor tire pressure in real-time, required for many modern vehicles.
Why You Need Them:

  • Prevent blowouts and uneven wear

  • Avoid dashboard warning lights

  • Ensure MOT compliance (UK law)

Torqen Options:

  • OE-replacement sensors

  • Pre-programmed universal sensors

  • TPMS rebuild kits


💨 5. Valve Stems

Purpose: Maintain air seal and pressure in the tire.
Why You Should Upgrade:
Stock stems degrade over time. We offer:

  • Metal stems for high-performance setups

  • Colored stems to match your wheels

  • High-pressure stems for track applications


🎯 Torqen’s Commitment to Precision Fitment

  • Vehicle-specific

Conclusion: Every Wheel Needs Its Support Team

You wouldn’t wear designer shoes without the right socks, right? The same logic applies to wheels. Accessories like hub rings, spacers, and lug nuts aren’t optional—they’re critical for the final fit, feel, and function. Trust Torqen to guide you to a safer, sharper, more satisfying driving experience.
