Warped Wheel
Ok, so I just found out after having it balanced that my rear 17x11 Fikse FM5 is slightly warped. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do about this?

It's a 3 piece wheel, and many of this type of wheel is assembled with a thin film of silicone sealer between the three parts, where they meet at the center. In some cases, the thickness of the sealer isn't identical all the way all around. If that's all it is, it's no big deal.

I bought them from the original buyer. I'll have to talk to Fikse and see what they could do.
haha, well I actual have 6 in total. (4) 17x9.5 and (2) 17x11, I'd be willing to part with the extra two 17x9.5s.
