To Specify The Wheel Assembly
Wheel Hub Paint Finish
The most common ways of hub paint finish are Poweder Coating and Galvanized. Regarding the rim color, aluminum and white are common, but other specified colors are also available.

Hub Styles For Both Pneumatic & Flat Free Wheel Assembly
	Symmetrical Hub Style This style of hub is consisted of two deep drawn discs of same configuration equally spaced from center line which are welded together. The most common use for a symmetrical hub is for "fork type" applications.
Offset Hub Style This type of hub protrudes past the tire sidewall to provide clearance between your product and tire. If the tire clearance from your product is needed, the offset style is generally used. Hub and axle will not protrude past the tire's sidewall. This design helps minimize the damage to doorways or walls, etc., and also protects the axle rod.
