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..
