? for experts on bad wheels....
I was selling my wheels and they haven't been on the car for awhile so I go put them on for a last photoshoot before letting them go come to find out the front wheels are bent and not talkin about a bend on the lip but it wabbles a bit... I saw this when I went to go take it to go get rebalanced cause thats what I thought it needed but nope it was wabbling, now I'm thinking because of the hard holes I would run into going on the 5 to LA. would this do any damage to the front axles or joints of the suspension if I were to put them on for use? its not as bad as you guys might think but it does vibrate a little at like lower speeds and higher speeds but at 55 - 70 its good. any suggestions advice. thanks in advance.
help here.

Could the problem be somewhere else (meaning that the wheel is not twisted) since rebalancing it didn't help? Did I understand correctly that there isn't any visible damage? One thing that I've come across before is that there was some dirt that had dried on the inner surface and that caused a tremble.
If the wheel is twisted, there are people who fix wheels (with other methods than just rebalancing) and I think they could help you out, but since I live up here in the bakcwoods of the Nordic land (=Finland) I guess it would be useless to recommend some of the local shops..

Ok I thought it was doing the "up and down"-wabble. But in any cae, there are experts to fix that, find a shop somewhere that knows what they're doing and take it their for them to check out. I don't think it's a totally lost cause.
anyone here know of some reputable places? oh by the way these are on my 20's not the stocks.
