Default Bullitt Rims

Hey everyone, I just got a set of 17x9 bullitt rims to match the 17X10.5 in the back. They look sweet and run great. Here is the catch, when I was having them the tires mounted and ballance the shop guy comes out and tells me to take a look at it on the ballancing mechine and there is a run out of about a 1/16 of a inch. I'm thinking sure not a big deal for a regalular street car... but i'm going to the track and going over 100 mph. The tire balance still with just 2 oz of weight. They say that I should be able to ship it back under waranty and get a new one, but we all know how that goes. I'm just wondering, before I pay to have the tire dismounted and rim shipped back and risk loosing 50 bucks, what you guys thought of it. I took it up to 75 last night and didn't get any vibrations but I would just feel better knowing that at 130 mph my wheel is actaully round. thanks

If you dont feel any wobbling then they should be fine. I'm more interested to know what you have done to your car to be worried about trapping 130MPH in the 1/4?

I only trap about 110 right now, but its called a project car. I mean i'm pretty sure that i'm gona try and send it back in but life is really buisy right now and i just wanted to be done with this, cuz my old tires are gone. I mean like I said if it was an everyday car not a big deal.
