AutoRacingTechnik Lightweight Aluminium M12 x 1.5 Wheel Fitting Guide Tool (VER1.1) 


  • AutoRacingTechink produce this simple but useful tool to assist in the fitting of your wheels with ease.  Modern wheel and tyre combinations easily weigh over 30kg/79lbs.  Moreover a single wheel+tyre is aproaching 700mm/30in in diameter and an average of 300mm/12in wide it is difficult for one person to lift and align wheel bolt holes without a helping hand.  A single tool has been tested to safely hold loads of 25kg/55lb when used correctly, and its weight holding ability is extended when used in pairs.  Why struggle to align wheel bolt holes and risk getting hurt or scratching/chipping those nicely painted wheels or brake calipers?  

    Sometimes referred to as a 'wheel hanger', this VERSION 1.1 has improvements over the original VER1.0 (steel) design.   This tool is useful in an emergency and a purposeful addition to your onboard tool kit.  Only available in anodised aluminium finish. AutoRacingTechnik's Wheel Fitting Guide/Aid Tool gives your vehicle that OEM addition that was lacking when it first left the factory.  Perfect for track day events, or when you have a 2nd set of wheels/tyres for winter use.  This product is proudly designed and manufactured in Melbourne, Australia.

    • 42g lightweight aircraft grade T6061 aluminium ensures strength to hold test load over 25kg/55lbs each
    • Corrosion resistant anodised aluminium finish
    • Designed to be carried in factory tool roll/bag or glove box or map holder pockets
    • Extended 140mm shaft length makes deeper or wider performance wheels easier to slide on or off compared to shorter ones on the market
