It could be the tires also. Ive run into a few bad tires that were new. One time for a 15in rim it wanted 3.5 and 4.0 for each side. I blame tires before a rim unless the rim is bent. Also my Nitto 420s had a yellow mark on the tire side wall where it wanted the valve stem to be with the tire for balance.

Did you try them on the balancer without tires. Didnt see where you said you did. I have had three sets of centerlines without problems, and a set of nittos without problems as well. I would look at the tires. I have had a couple tires that ended up being the problem in the past.

edit: nevermind, I see where you stated that you tried one without a tire. On a side note, I had a yound guy trying to balance mine once and put on all kind of weight. I told him there shouldnt be all those weights on there and the senior guy came to check it out, turns out he didnt have it sitting in the balancer right. Just a thought.

Yes, I did try them with and without tires and the same ones were off.

I just think they should disclose those wheels may not be perfect instead of using the word "OVERSTOCK" to rail peple in then tell them it takes 2-3 weeks to make and hope the customer lucks out or takes them as they come. Mine took 8 weeks, then this. It's not really the money, it's the hassle. I really liked the wheels and would have payed proper price from the beggining but what guarantees me now they won't have issues?

I bought some "overstock" wheels from them and they were perfect. Highly polished and not a single blemish. But how is it overstock when it took them six weeks to make them and ship them? You are right, that is just a gimmic to get you there.
