Basically it says "you're screwed". Seriously we should have someone on here who knows Japanese, otherwise I can get it translated for you in 1 day.

that japanese is far more advanced than what i know. give me a couple more years of language class and a couple more years with a dictionary to that thing.

but overall, its about your "arumihoiru" which probably means something like "aluminum wheel" ?

and then each section starts with the headings like

"before you mount them"- 'make sure the tires fit' 'do something with the bolts..."

"while mounting them..." - 'test them somehow' -? not sure on this

"maitenence"

"other information"

sorry spent only a few minutes trying then i gave up :P

My Japanese compatriots in the office say that it is an installation manual. The first point is to make sure the wheels are the right ones for your car. Measure offset, etc. make sure tires match the rim loading. Make sure you use the correct type of valve, and observe proper inflation. In other words......BE CAREFUL!
