Stock Wheel Problem

I searched in the forums for this and couldn't find it, so I am asking here.

I was told by my tire guy that all 4 stock wheels are bent on my '04 Evo. Has anyone here seen a similar problem? I have not hit anything, nor drove the car "real" hard. I take it easy on it. So has anyone had or heard of this problem?

I haven't heard of this problem on Evos, let alone ALL 4? Chances have to be slim there...

I'd say there is a better chance that your tire guy doesn't know what he is doing or how to operate the tire balance machine.

Thanks for the info. I am starting to think that, too. That basically confirms my suspicions.

Here is another very unlikely thing...if you just got all 4 new tires...you might have gotten some faulty tires from a bad run or something....I've heard this on ONE tire but not on 4.
