Mayf;
Check the radial runout as well as axial. Although a tire is never exactly
round, adding radial runout from a wheel that it's mounted on makes that
problem worse.
Ten & sixteen thousands sounds OK to me. Maybe the rear axle mounting
surfaces aren't true or perhaps the lug nuts were not tightened evenly. I
always use a torque wrench and use a recommended tightening pattern.

Subject: [Land-speed] Another Wheel Question...
I am going to purchase a couple of wheels from Diamond Racing Wheels
because the Goodyear tire folk said my 2 rear wheels had wobbles in
them. Well, I put the bare wheels on the spindle in front and set up a
dial indicator. Wobble seems to be over stated, but just for chuckles,
how much would make a wheel no good? These have 0.010" max for one wheel
and about 0.016" for the other. That doesn't seem like a lot, but whadda
I know? Yes, I can call wheel suppliers but I am asking you folk with
your direct experience. Would you run wheels with this much "wobble"? In
fact, how many of you actually check the run out to begin with? This is
not something I would normally do..
