BYD Formula Leopard 5 Aluminum Alloy Wheel (OEM/Aftermarket Wheel Rim)

This product is professionally designed for BYD’s professional personalized brand—the Formula Leopard 5, the brand’s first model, serving as a core running gear component that combines lightweight construction, high strength, and rugged aesthetics.

As a professional factory specializing in automotive aluminum alloy wheel manufacturing, our Formula Leopard 5 aluminum wheels strictly follow OE specifications, offering various process options including casting, flow-forming, and forging, dedicated to providing the global aftermarket with high-quality, high-precision wheel replacement and upgrade solutions.

As a mid-to-large hardcore off-road NEV SUV, the Formula Leopard 5’s aluminum alloy wheels not only support the vehicle body and transmit power but also serve as a key expression of the vehicle's "Leopard Aesthetic" design language. The lightweight aluminum alloy effectively reduces unsprung mass, thereby optimizing handling, acceleration, and energy consumption. The factory offers two mainstream sizes, 18-inch and 20-inch, corresponding to different tire configurations and brake systems for various scenarios.

Compatible with all BYD Formula Leopard 5 trims, including Explorer, Navigator, YunNian, and Smart Driving versions. According to vehicle data, the Formula Leopard 5 measures 4890/4930×1970×1920mm with a wheelbase of 2800mm. This product is compatible with OEM wheel specs and offers various offset (ET) and width (J) options to meet personalization needs.

• Damage replacement: Immediate replacement is required if the wheel is deformed, cracked, or severely corroded to ensure driving safety.

• Performance upgrade: 18-inch users can opt for the 20-inch package for better on-road handling; off-road enthusiasts may choose 18-inch forged wheels to reduce unsprung mass and fit large-sidewall AT tires.

Installation Instructions

Tools Required:

• Torque Wrench

• Socket Wrench (M14 size)

• Jack or Lift

• Grease (small amount, for anti-seize)

 Installation Steps (General Reference):

1. Lift Vehicle: Safely lift the vehicle using a lift or jack—remove the original wheel

2. Clean Mounting Surface: Clean the wheel mounting surface and brake disc/hub interface—remove rust and debris

3. Install New Wheel: Align the new aluminum wheel with the bolt holes—install original lug nuts

4. Pre-tighten Bolts: Pre-tighten bolts in a star/cross pattern

5. Torque to Specification: Using a torque wrench, tighten bolts to the specified torque of 140 N·m—a torque wrench is essential for safety

【Professional Tips】:

• Always use a torque wrench: Insufficient torque may cause wheel loosening, over-tightening may damage bolts or the wheel—always torque to 140 N·m

• Wheel alignment recommended: Changes in offset and width may affect alignment parameters

• TPMS Note: Transfer original TPMS sensors to the new wheels or use compatible new sensors when replacing
