ive been thinking about my high speed vibration (over 60mph) and measured
the runout on my rear wheels.  it appears that there is a flat spot on just
one spot on the rim (the tire surface reflects this also).  i know the 40
series kumhos are hard to put on.  its a 17x10 wheel and a 275/40 tire.

my vibration started right after these tires were mounted.

could people prying on the wheel trying to mount the tire have bent it?

second question, where in the bay area can i get the rim straightened?
