Bent rim????

Whats up fellas, seem to have a little problem, i went to Firestone yesterday to have my wheels balanced, they told me that one of my rims were slightly bent .

I asked them to take a look at it while it was on the balancing machine, the wheel wobbled a little bit. So I had the tire dismounted this morning.

While at work i rolled the rim (without the tire) back and forth between me and my boss, and we both saw no wobble or anything.

My question is, can the rim be bent slightly? to the point where you cant see it unless it on a balancing machine?

help is much appreciated because keystone is coming to pick my rim up tomorrow morning, and i don't want to send it out if i don't need 2.

thank you in advance

About Yor Rim

You could have a bent rim and then again, you could have a busted belt in your tire.
