A little runout at the rim flange can turn into a lot of runout at the tread. 
Lateral runout is not as bad as radial runout but on the stock reversed 
wheels runout either laterally or radially will cause vibration problems. I 
would 
consider more than 1/8th inch to be a potential problem. Also the need for more 
than 4 total ounces of balance weights to be an indicator. I bought a lot of 
steel wheels and could never come up with four round ones. Someday when I win 
the lottery I am going to get a set of redlines and mount on stock wheels for 
show purposes.
