German term

Radspiegelvorspannung

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Wheel testing specification for aluminium disc wheels
Appears in list of items to be performed in strength/function test: Radspiegelvorspannung. Cannot find the term Radspiegel in a similar context, can only think of something along the lines of "wheel face preloading/prestressing" but cannot find any references to this either and doesn't seem to make any sense.

Radspiegel Radspiegel / Radanschlussfläche / Nabenauflagefläche / hub face<br><br>

See links below. But the pre-tensioning is a mystery to me...

This is the context, it is a table with column headings No., designation, test parameters and evaluation and testing specification.
Under designation, main heading is strength and function test, various items listed including Radgewicht, Kugelkalotte, Bremsfreigang, Radspiegelvorspannung. Under "test parameters" simply laut Zeichnung.

wheel smooth surface pre-stress

Wheel builders often try to "pre stress" their wheels

Spiegel means smooth surface too

neutral Bernd Runge : What exactly would the smooth surface of the wheel be, then?
