Yeah I noticed that as well. I'm hoping it's just the raised lettering on the tire. I'm getting an alignment this week and I'll get it checked out

I was trying to ignore the irregularities in the tire and focus on the wheel, but it was difficult.

 

Bring it over, I'll check all four for ya. I got an indicator on a mag base with a flexi-wand.

Haha! Yeah, a couple thousand!

 

Good luck at the alignment shop and here's to hoping that wobble was just the tire lettering.

Matt, where is the stainless strip above the side windows?

Left it off for now, I kinda like the way it looks without it  :P

The wobble ended up being an "out of round" wheel.  :mellow:

Wow. I would have expected a bent axle or hub mounting plate if anything. A bad wheel? That stinks!

 

Were those new or did you buy them used?

 

Also, I assume they checked all four and only that one corner had an issue?

Yep brand new Konigs. I swapped with the front wheel and it was fine. Oh well, I was thinking of getting new wheels anyway. I would rather it be the wheel than the hub.
