If the wheel is distorted and not balanced properly it will put extra strain on the wheel bearing and wear it out prematurely. So it all depends on how bad the wheel actually is, if it is just a few scrapes on an edge then I would just get it balanced again or if they are quite bad then refurbished.
Advisories for trays as previously mentioned are to cover the testers back, if the car is in an accident and it is found to be due to a faulty component that should have been picked up on then the tester is liable.
