if you cannot balance the rims, they have some serious bends in them. There are a lot of places that will make good quality custom wheel. You just tell them the size. The can cost a bit :)

mine ar 15x10 running with 275/50R15 tires.

hmm. i've seen a lot of people on doamond racing wheels without problems. kfunk from ohio is also using them. the wheels are bolt centric, but so are the 2002s. just use proper lug nuts. it is hard to belive that none of the wheels can be balanced steve k. _________________ Pre-order you new KGB-Racing Shirt!

I also remember kfunk saying that they were super soft and easy to bend when installing a tire. I'd put the offending wheel on the rear of the car, jack it up and run it to see if its running out.
