    Question.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    How will this affect performance? I bought some wheels online and thress of the wheels have this hump on the inner surface. When you slide your hand you can feel just a little bump. What do you guys think? Is is safe to use them like this? Has anybody here had this problem before? Can you see those lines?






    Thanks

    Re: Question.

    its just the way the wheels were molded/machined... with a good balancing job they will be golden.

    Re: Question.

    Thanks. I just want to make sure that these wheels are not going to break up or something, or maybe cause a lot of vibration.

    Re: Question.

    well i would be worried if that bump was is in just one area of the wheel. but it looks like it goes all around. Could be the way they were made.

    Re: Question.

    These pics are from 3 different wheels and the lines are not consistent. They don't go all the way around. The pattern is different on each wheel.

    If balanced correctly... no problem. If not done right, very bad vibration.
