can anyone help me? i have a small problem with my new (used) wheels.
i bought some Ace Lolas with RE730's from LarryV a while ago and put them on last weekend. since the change, i've noticed some wobble in the steering wheel and a little in the car when i drive at highway speeds that wasn't previously there with the stock wheels and tires. what could be causing this? could one of the wheels be bent/warped? should i have them rebalanced? thanks in advance. -Bing

rebalance fronts. No wobble when I had them for a 1K mile bay area trip...
...damaged wheel from my accident was replaced with a new Lola wheel and new RE730 tire (I told you that already)... and they drove perfect after that. So absolutely no bends or warpage of the wheels unless UPS dropped them off a building. If that's the case, I insured those wheels at $250/piece when I shipped them to you. Also, check tire pressures, proper torquing of wheels, although those may not be as relevant.
Finally, no need to point fingers if you have a problem with the wheel. You could have just emailed me or asked for advice publickly without indirectly discrediting me in the forum.
It seems the problem you are having should be easily corrected by a simple wheel balancing... As far as I'm concerned those wheels drove for about 2000 perfect trouble-free miles after which I removed them, let them sit flat to avoid flat-spotting in my living room for a week, packaged them, and mailed them. If you have anymore questions, you can contact me.<p><b>larryV</b>

Have them balanced and do they use hub rings? Are they all there?
LarryV... I didn't get the feel of any finger pointing, of course there was no reason to have had your name mentioned.<p>12 has been enough for me.
