When they built my wheels, both my back wheels are bad. One is over 50 though run out, and the other is not round, almost egg shaped. When my car was on the dyno I could see both of them were a problem. We took the wheels off and mic'ed the tires, the axle’s and the rims and both were not good. First time I called, they told me that once the wheels are on the car, it's my problem, then I spoke to Greg and he said he would take care of it, but he also said that they will ship a wheel with up to 40 thousands run out. That was acceptical to them. The finish is also poor.
