Enkei fire hazard

[Petrus]

The instructions with my Enkeis come with an interesting warning:

Converged Combustion:
Caution
As for the aluminium alloy wheel, which is designed as a concave face, with the finishes as like chrome plated finish, it is feared that the solar ray would converge by wheel concaved design, it would make fire in worst case.

....it goes on for another pragraph like this and concludes with

User shall pay attention to watch the surround of vehicle, and shall remove any combustibles from it.

Bit like that building in London walkie talkie?

[Petrus]

Best not park neer bushes, trees and..., well; buildings!  (:< >

[Ardent]

Winter use only perhaps?

[Joesson]

Could be used in the Summer time if, when parked, the car is  pointed in an East/ West direction

[Petrus]

Or simply keep the ocd about brake dust in check :-)

I cannot see it being a real issue btw.
Although round, the surfaces of a wheel are mainly curved in one plan e only, not truely concave in its surfaces.
As such it is not like a glass bottle bottom that can sometimes focus sun light.

Still a fun ´warning´  though.
A bit like the one Aprillia put in its manuals a long time ago; ´Health warning: This motorcyvle is entirely made out of inedible material!´

Did the small print also say "May contain nuts" ? 

[Ardent]

Lol to both the above

[Petrus]

Did the small print also say "May contain nuts" ? 

No, these wheels ares strictly for those wíth nuts

Watch this guy's home DIY mount of tyres to Enkei wheels.  Obviously a different set of instructions for JDM...or he's a stark raving pyromaniac
