STRAIGHTENING WHEELS, RIMS OR COMPONENTS

Do NOT heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening to repair damage from striking curbs, etc. The special alloy used in these
wheels is heat-treated and uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material. Do NOT weld the wheels for any reason.
