Also,what did you tq the wheels to and did u re-tq them after driving 40-50 miles ?
And yes i meant if they were bent and if you dont mind me asking,How did u check for bends in the wheels ???

Hub surfaces were cleaned about a week ago when I installed the new wheels, I did it myself, so I'm pretty sure they were cleaned thoroughly. I haven't re torqued the wheels, hadn't really thought of that, but its been less than 50 miles, and they are torqued to 80lbs per my specifications, I specifically asked them to make sure they were torqued at that spec.
To be honest, I only inspected them with my eye (LOL). But considereing the road force numbers are all below 20 lbs, there's really no reason to think a wheel is bent or damaged.
To be honest, after much thought, I think, considering these are 20" wheels on pretty low profile tires, and coilovers, that road force specs should be as low as possible (the numbers were 20, 7, 15, 17... although they are below 20, they should be lower than that on a car like this, where there's a lot of "road feel"). Hopefully I can get my dealer to spend enough time on my wheels/tires tomorrow to bring the numbers down a bit.

No suspension damage, I'm pretty sure of that. I wouldn't consider defective tires just yet, I think, suspect, there's still something to do about balancing. Those road force numbers I was given should be lower.
