This is really hurting me, saved and saved for nice jdm wheels and now one wobbles a little. There are no visible defects, bends,repair. It is an Advan SA3r. In the rear view mirror I can see it wobble horizontally. Now please from your experience, can this be saved? 1:Which company / person should I be checking? 2: Does anyone have 1 or a pair of SA3R in 17 5x114.3 in a low offset they will let go? I hope for good news, added to my prayer list. Zac ---

no no its the wheel, not the bearing. I’m afraid it will lead to a wheel bearing issue if I continue to drive it like that. Thank you alesserfate, can you vouch for their work? Zac ---

or the wheel has got something interfering with the hub actually seating correctly. If you’re running bolt on spacers there is a chance the factory wheel stud is hitting the mounting surface of the wheel. Check to make sure its all mounted up correctly and torqued evenly, if not then you should price out a new wheel. ---

put that wheel on another hub and see if it wobbles if not then the wheels is fine, But then you have other problems ---

Thanks for the fix suggestions: to address any questions about the tire, hub,bearing - confirmed the fault is with the actual rim itself. I’ll update the thread with the decision and outcome in case others ever have the same issue. ---

Where did you buy the rim, Doesnt matter if its used or new the seller is at fault for this. You can return them but youll pay a 15% restocking fee. ---
