CUSTOM AND SPECIAL WHEELS

ALLOY WHEELS

Some manufacturers offer wheels with little or no drop

center. These are not DOT approved. The tire or wheel - or

both - can be damaged and the tire could explode under

pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. If you attempt

to mount/demount this type of wheel, use extreme caution.
