I've alway liked those rims. Have a tire check the bend.
The one in the middle of the wheel may not present any issues. Any bends around each rim could. They can mount tires, and spin them to check if they are out of round.
Good luck!

just checked with a place near me and the guy that i know told me that because i will use a low profile tire will be noticeable and may wear the tire unevenly ..
i was hoping i don't have to deal with this crap by buying used wheels ...
now i have to decide if i should pay 150 to get it fixed or 255 for a new wheel (255$ shipped)
