Replacement

Wheels must be replaced when they:
^ Are bent.
^ Are dented or heavily rusted.
^ Have air leaks (aluminum wheels can, in most cases, be serviced using the procedure under Cleaning and Inspection).
^ Have elongated bolt holes.
^ Have excessive lateral or radial runout. Wheels with a lateral or radial runout greater than the recommended specification may cause an objectionable, high-speed vehicle vibration. Replacement wheels must be equal to the original equipment wheels in:
^ load capacity
^ diameter
^ width
^ offset and mounting configuration
An improper wheel may affect:
^ wheel and bearing life
^ ground and tire clearance
^ speedometer and odometer calibrations
Corrosion buildup can result in wheels sticking to the hub rotor flange after extensive service. To prevent this from recurring once the wheels are removed, clean wheels as outlined.
