If something isn't broken and you're happy with the way it looks, why replace it?

See if the rim is straight and true.

Dial caliper and a quick spin with no tire on it will give you peace of mind

Check the spokes and make sure they are all tight.

Sucks finding out on the first ride the wheel is wobbly
