My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"

Yeah I noticed that as well. I'm hoping it's just the raised lettering on the tire. I'm getting an alignment this week and I'll get it checked out

Matt,

 

You need to drive with your welding mask on... it would be classic like Norm's rant with a goalie mask on Zcars.com

I was trying to ignore the irregularities in the tire and focus on the wheel, but it was difficult.

 

Bring it over, I'll check all four for ya. I got an indicator on a mag base with a flexi-wand.

Sweet, only a couple miles away

Yeah thats pretty awesome Matt! Lots of fun.

[Captain Obvious]

Haha! Yeah, a couple thousand!

 

Good luck at the alignment shop and here's to hoping that wobble was just the tire lettering.

Matt, where is the stainless strip above the side windows?

Left it off for now, I kinda like the way it looks without it

The wobble ended up being an "out of round" wheel. 

[Captain Obvious]

Wow. I would have expected a bent axle or hub mounting plate if anything. A bad wheel? That stinks!

 

Were those new or did you buy them used?

 

Also, I assume they checked all four and only that one corner had an issue?

Yep brand new Konigs. I swapped with the front wheel and it was fine. Oh well, I was thinking of getting new wheels anyway. I would rather it be the wheel than the hub.

At least it is an easy fix.
