I thought Mr FBinNY exaggerated but this new Alex Adventurer rim's label reads:
This rim is subject to wear from braking. With use, the rim should be inspected by the dealer. Excessive use can damage the rim sidewall and result in an accident.
I had never seen anything on a rim other than name and size before.
