We are often asked if gloves should be used with our wheels to keep them in good condition. This question cannot be answered that easily. In general, gloves can help to keep the wheel clean and protect it from sweat. But on the other hand, gloves can increase the wear of the wheel rim material (leather, stitching, etc.) to a much higher level than bare hands would do. This additional wear cannot be covered by warranty. It is impossible to test all types/brands of gloves to make recommendations.

Because of this, and the possibility of increased wear-and-tear, Fanatec cannot give a general recommendation to use gloves.
