Very bad advice put copperslip or similar on here and it will act as a grinding paste and react with the alloy and metal hub and you will get excessive wear, seen this loads of times on race cars where you cant afford a wheel to stick. Use vaseline (petroleum jelly) or a good spray white grease which are both inert. You also then wont get the reaction you would get with copperslip (dissimilar metals). I sometimes wonder if some of the dealers actually bother to train their technicians or maybe the trainers themselves have a lot to learn
