ive seen these wheels before and i think that some elements are left out/changed from the normal road wheels at manufacturing to make them lighter.
the warning is to cover cheviot for laibility if you hit a pot hole or something and the rim fails (i am not talking warrenty on the rim here, think coroners court)hence they are not manufactured to the road safety standard.

Wayne, Being ex tyre industry..this was stamped into anything that was over the legal limit ...especially race wheels for..as it was said...liabiltity purposes. They are made the same as the other wheels...drive it and forget it. Might be an idea to inform the insurance company tho.
