Looking over my '02 viper that i recently purchased and noticed that the rear center guide wheel is notched. It looks like the previous owner used a drill of some sort and notched the entire wheel approx every 1/4". It's more of an inside notch, if that makes any sense. However, it's still perfectly round with the perimeter still being smooth, so I can't figure out why someone would do this. What would be the advantage, if any?
It is all stock with 96 studs and only 500 miles. Any thoughts?

I am thinking for possibly kicking up some snow on the Hyfax? I don't know. Have never heard or seen that before.
I know... I thought it was strange myself. I'm not sure if I should replace or just leave it.
