Is there some kind of runout gauge that I can use to test for warped steel rims while they are on the car?
Essentially I have a feeling that my steel rims may be warpped. I don't want to just purchase new rims to find that they were good in the first place. Is there a tool to test for runout like brake rotors.
You can use a Dial Indicator that has a magnetic base. You stick the base onto metal, and set the indicator to zero with the tip of the indicator on a smooth surface on the wheel that goes all the way around. Turn the wheel until you get the lowest
