KMC XD232 Beadlock Wheels / Where to Find Or Get New Wheels

[cozdude]

Best way to see if the wheel is bent is to take the tire off and spin the wheel on its own. Only then will you know. On a non headlock wheel usually under 3/4oz means the wheel is straight and not bent.

It’s possible the bead lock isn’t seated evenly. That could make the rim look wobbly

Did you personally witness the wheel itself (the edge of the rim) wobble? What if it is not actually bent? Aluminum seems more likely to crack than bend.

Yes, after I was told there was an issue I had them set it up and spin it on the balance machine 6 times so I could watch it from different angles. The backside of the wheel being the most obvious and direct visual of the issue. I’ve had cracked aluminum AEV Pintler in the past that I’ve had to repair and bent steel wheels so I wanted to confirm it was the wheel and not the tire.

I do appreciate the assistance with this, absolutely do. It’s helped me run through all my troubleshooting again. So thank all who have commented.
However, I believe most who have commented with similar experience would conclude the same if this was their wheel and they were watching it spin. I’ve been wrong before though, so I’ll check everything again.

I was mainly just hoping someone may have a lead on a spare wheel so I could shift this wobbly one to a spare or if someone was using a similar 17x9 beadlock with the same backspacing of 3.5”.

Thank you all again.
