Hi Tom and all,
I have also done the same on motorcycles with
success. I have heard MC people refer to this as "tuning" a wheel. A
"rough" check can be then done with a magnetic mounted dial
indicator. If it is way out after a whack into a pothole or curb
smash and requires "retrueing" or a major "respokeing" I'd surely
leave it to the Pro's. Trueing and respokeing a wheel comes under the
heading of a black art. I do not know about the later cars but the 100
service manual gave a spec for lateral and radial runnout.
