Installing aftermarket wheels isn’t as simple as bolting them on and driving off. To do it safely, properly, and stylishly, you’ll need more than just the wheels themselves. Whether you drive a show car, track weapon, or daily driver, wheel accessories are critical for the success of any wheel upgrade.
At Torqen, we provide a complete ecosystem of accessories that ensure correct fitment, optimal safety, and an aggressive, dialed-in look. Here’s your ultimate checklist.
✅ 1. Hub Centric Rings: Smooth Ride Starts Here
Why you need them:
Aftermarket wheels typically have a larger center bore than your car's hub. Without hub-centric rings, your wheels won’t sit perfectly centered, which leads to:
-
Vibration at high speed
-
Uneven tire wear
-
Steering inconsistencies
What we offer:
-
Aluminum rings: For high-heat or track use
-
Poly rings: Cost-effective for daily driving
-
Sizes for all major makes: Nissan, BMW, Toyota, Audi, Subaru, and more
✅ 2. Wheel Spacers: Perfect Fitment & Function
Why use spacers:
-
Achieve flush fitment with your fenders
-
Solve clearance issues with brakes or suspension
-
Improve handling by widening the track
Torqen spacers feature:
-
Hub-centric design
-
CNC-machined aluminum
-
Bolt-on and slip-on types
-
Vehicle-specific bolt patterns and center bores
Don’t forget: Thick spacers (10mm+) may require extended studs.

✅ 3. Lug Nuts & Bolts: Secure & Stylish
The basics:
Every wheel design requires the correct seat type (conical, ball, or flat). Installing the wrong lugs can damage wheels or loosen over time.
At Torqen, you’ll find:
-
Forged steel & aluminum options
-
Open or closed-end designs
-
Anodized colors: Red, blue, black, chrome, titanium
-
Locking lug kits for theft protection
✅ 4. Valve Stems: More Than Just Air Holders
Most aftermarket wheels require new valve stems—especially metal stems for higher-pressure or performance use. We also offer:
-
Color-matched valve stems
-
TPMS-compatible valve hardware
-
High-pressure variants for racing applications
✅ 5. TPMS Sensors: Keep It Legal & Safe
Don’t forget tire pressure monitoring. Modern vehicles require working TPMS sensors to:
-
Avoid dashboard warnings
-
Stay MOT compliant
-
Maintain fuel efficiency and tire longevity
Torqen provides:
-
OE-style sensors
-
Pre-programmed universal kits
-
Replacement seals and rebuild kits
✅ Conclusion: Wheels Need Their Support Cast
Think of your wheels as the star—and accessories as the support crew. They ensure everything works, looks, and drives perfectly. At Torqen, we stock everything you need for a safe, clean, and professional wheel install—with expert advice just a click away.
