If you are that worried about it, take it to a truck tire place. You could
also watch them.

Many, most rings should be tapped with a hammer whist inflating (at the
beginning at low pressure) to make sure the ring seats correctly.

I have had wheels come apart in the middle where the fingers from the hub
are riveted onto the the ring of the wheel. They tend to rot under these
fingers and the pressure from the tire forces the ring of the wheel to get
wider in one place. Very dangerous!
