A centre-lock wire wheel is fitted onto a car axle using a splined hub; the splines (or serrations) of the hub lock with the splines on the inside of the wheel centre to produce drive. Splined hubs may be integral fitting or bolt-on. Please refer to the vehicle's service manual for instructions on fitting integral splines.

When putting a centre-lock wheel onto a splined hub, the splined area inside of the wheel centre must be greased to ease the wheel on and prevent the two surfaces corroding together. All new MWS centre-lock wheels from stock are provided pre-greased; ready to go on the car. If a stock wheel has been repainted then as part of the process it has to be degreased and it will need fresh grease applying before fitting to the vehicle.

Rear wire wheel hub assembly, LH. Plated finish. MWS brand.
