Do not use bent wheels which have been straightened, and do not use inner tubes
in leaking wheels designed for tubeless tires. Such wheels may have structural
damage and could fail without warning. When replacing wheels for any reason,
the new wheels should
be equal in load limit, diameter, width, offset, and mounting
configurations to those originally installed on your vehicle.

been subjected to harsh treatment or very high mileage and could fail wjthout
