Madmiles442, Those wheels look quite a bit like mine, but polished. Not certain. I'm thinking there are quite a few Cobra guys going down the road with bent wheels from having tires installed with a pry bar in such a way that torques the lip of the wheel inward. The other day I was watching another Cobra drive down the road. All of his wheels were all torqued up and wobbling about. I don't think some even know it when they have this condition. Think about it. The wheels don't look bent when you walk around the car before you hop in to drive. Not many of us see our Cobra with wheels spinning. The guy you bought your wheels from very well may not of even known one was bent.
The problem is any tire shop might have people which will perform a task perfectly. They may have a guy or two that won't. This reminds me of a day when a certain tire shop put a set of four brand new tires on an old Suzuki Samurai that I had. The shop installed 3 tires of one brand and size and a 4th tire of a different brand and completely different size. LOL
