Max values - wheel out-of-trueness? Out-of-roundness?
What is the spec (max amount) for wheel out-of-trueness? And out-of-roundness?
I have "lobsters" on my C2S - if they are out of true and/or out of round, what's the measurement/value when they can no longer be fixed?
For my DFW neighbors, is there a wheel repair shop you would recommend?

Official name for what you're looking for is runout. I don't know the spec though.

Does run-out describe conditions for both axes? I think my wheels may be out of round and the wheel face not being parallel to a (single) plane as the wheel spins.

I have some straight and true Champion RS171s for sale if you want to upgrade to a lighter, forged, higher quality wheel than your OEM ones. 19" NB fitment.

I go to an established wheel expert in Wilmington DE. Big enthusiast shop and they do rim work for dealerships.
I don't know the specs but a good shop will. I believe the can fix just about anything. If not, a good shop may have one of your wheels in inventory as a side line of these places is selling aftermarket and re-selling take offs.
My 19" on my 2009 always get knocked out... when the tire installer tells me they had a "tough time" balancing, I take the car down to them and they refurbish it. Stooopid boy racer big rims.... nothing to do with performance these stoopid big rims.
