Aluminum wheel precautions  
D When installing aluminum wheels,  
check that the wheel nuts are tight  
after driving your vehicle the first 1600  
km (1000 miles).  
D If you have rotated, repaired or  
changed your tires, check that the  
wheel nuts are still tight after driving  
1600 km (1000 miles).  
D When using tire chains, be careful not  
to damage the aluminum wheels.  
D Use only the Toyota wheel nuts and  
wrench designed for your aluminum  
wheels.  
D When balancing your wheels, use only  
Toyota balance weights or equivalent  
and a plastic or rubber hammer.  
D As with any wheel, periodically check  
your aluminum wheels for damage. If  
damaged, replace immediately.
