I rarely follow my own car but, I let my younger brother drive it on the weekend while I followed him in my other Chevelle. So I am looking at the back wheels and the one rear wheel looks bent or warped. So I check to make sure its not falling off, all the lugs are torqued. So I switched them from left to right to make sure I don't have a bent axle, samething. I wonder what kind of hassle I am going to get from the Speed shop I purchased them from. The strange thing I don't feel a shake or vibration.

I had the same thing with a new set recently purchased. Found it on the balance machine. If you look in the paperwork they give an allowance for run out. I did not measure mine, but it looked to be about a 1/16 ".
I thought it was funny that Weld wanted you to check it before you mount them.

Trivia:
I was checking out my 70 SS -AO wheels. G.M. allows 1/16" of an inch runout --no more. This info is for stock steel wheels. I would think any wheel with a run-out more than a 16-teenth, You will have balance issues. Bent wheels on a trailer queen a non issue, Bent wheels on a driver BIG issue. JMO
