You can try to get it balanced, one of my 15x10's is a bit bent and the tire place put a ton of weights on it to balance it out.

3 out of the 4 15x10 welds i have wobble......2 are noticable and the other is only slight.

i'm not sure if it is the rim quality (i haven't driven much on the street) or what, but i wonder....

Mighty,

Just my 2 cents, almost all of the weld wheels I have seen on my car as well as all my friends cars wobble. This seems to be the nature of the beast for Weld wheels. Jack the rearend up and run the car through a gear and the wheels have a wobble

I went 10.0 at 138 on my prostars that wobbled.

Good luck,
Glenn

You can get it fixed fairly cheap. I bent one and took it to a local "wheel straightening" place in town and they fixed it for about $40.
