Work Emotion CR Ultimate Warping

After a few thousand miles on my Work Emotion CR Ultimate wheels, they seem to be warping slightly. Is there an easy fix for them, or should I consider another brand. The roads I drive on each day aren't horrible, but I am looking for a wheel to last..... Any suggestions?

Maybe I don't get out enough, but I've never heard of a Work wheel warping. But I see that you wrote that "they seem to be warping slightly." What, exactly, makes it seem to you that they are warping?

When I am driving at about 5mph you can feel wheels run over humps in the road, even though I am on a smooth surface. When I had new Nittos installed the technician told me he saw some wobbling and put the worst wheels on the rear of the car. I used to see the car smooth out at about 60mph, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. On another note, I've driven the car on known smooth concrete surfaces and the wheels seem warped. I'm not sure how to describe it. When I first put the wheels on I didn't have any of these issues.

jiGGypiGGy, they aren't showing any signs of being bent or warping from the outside enough to post a pic, just while driving I can feel the car bounce around from them being bent.....

Feeling imaginary bumps at 5 MPH but nothing at higher speeds is not a symptom of warped wheels.

But if the tech was competent, warping is screamingly obvious when balancing a wheel.

I am confused enough to be no help.

Thanks for the reply. I am about to have the car aligned and the wheels looked at again.

If the wheels were bought from an authorized dealer, you might be able to have them replaced under warranty if they are in fact warping. That seems like a factory defect unless it was caused by potholes.
