Default New 19x9.5 Rim Slight Wobble?

Was wondering if I would be able to get some advice on a slight wobble I have been having on a set of brand new rims. They have never been mounted on the car.

The manufacturer is saying that no wheel is perfect as there is polishing and painting involved. Maybe it's my eyes but is this within spec?

I apologize in advance for the quality of the videos. The wobble is not the easiest thing to pick up, but is best seen in full screen. You have to focus your eyes on the edge of the rim...whether it be the inside or outside and not the tire to see it.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Is this a VMR wheel by any chance?

No it's not. You are not far off though. I posted the manufacturers name in another forum and I'm not sure if that was a great idea. I'm just trying to establish if this is something to expect from an inexpensive set of rims, for all I know maybe they got banged up during shipping.

Wheels are covered by a 1yr limited finish + structural warranty. I can send them back but if they are deemed to be within spec I get the same set back and have to cover shipping costs.
