If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of
handling control.

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter,
rim width, and inset
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized SUBARU
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
