Help! New TSW wheels...is this wobble normal?

[HoustonGT]

I just had new 20" Bathurst's installed. One of the wheels had this wobble...is this normal? The tire tech said it isn't normal and that I should ask for a replacement. The vendor on this forum that I bought them from said not to worry.

Your thoughts? Would you pursue it and push for a replacement? Thanks!

If they can balance it without an absurd amount of weight then I wouldn't worry about it.

I agree with the tech.

well yes and no, if you can balance the wheel then you have a 50/50 but just tell the tech to drop that roadforce down/ this will show you if it will cause a vibration on the car in which i believe it will. hey if the wheels are used or where damaged by your self then im sure you will make it work but if its brand new just have it exchanged.

They are brand new right out of the box. Thanks.

as a manufacture i would definitely need to replace these if they where our wheels. or at least contact them because ones you let a few days pass after the sales date and after UPS delivered then it looks like they where on the car and you hit something.
well at least thats what they will think. call TSW and fins out what they recommend you to do. sometimes it works out by balancing but just in case it dont then at least TSW will know that their is a chance they have to replace your wheel.

There's no way that would go on my car.

Get a new wheel and pray the vendor works with you. Fresh out of the box one of my Forgestar's was warped worse than yours. They refused to warranty it w/out me filing a false damage claim with UPS....

Thanks for the input. The vendor does a lot of business on this forum...I have a call in and hope he comes through for me.

If it is Paul, I am sure he will take care of you.

Yep its too much. They can balance it but it will cause ride height change at speeds.

Hope you get a replacement. I had a brand new wheel warped but it was on an off road jeep so I didn't mess with it. This is a different story.

If it's Paul@N4SM, he'll make it right. I always check new wheels on the car before mounting tires for run out. Both barrel and side-to-side.

Best of Luck, and now you'll need some patience waiting for the new one. ;)

That is all...
