Legal custom wheels/offset
Hi guys, wondering if anyone can steer me in the direction of someone who can supply/make wheels in Sydney (or thereabouts) in a VW 4x130 PCD but with
the correct offsets as not to piss off the engineer?
Just got my 6 inch vw wheels back from the 'fabricator' after having the offsets corrected and they are wobbly as all crap! easy 10mm of runout, and
they were straight when I sent them to him... 
So trying to get them repaired but if they are stuffed then I will need another solution.
Any clues are much appreciated!
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

I called them today but couldn't get there from Hornsby before they closed, will be seeing them if my frame/wheel guy from work cant do anything with
them.
Cheers.

AJAX wheels in Moorabbin VIC are gurus, and have modified and supplied wheels forever. It could be worth calling them and freighting them to get the
info and get the job done right.

Yeah unfortunately, I may have exaggerated a mill or so but it is at least 5mm laterally on all of them. Measuring the backspace it differs between
124, 125,126 and 123 on the same wheel.
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

Just to fill in a gap in this, the wheel assoc standard is 70 thou runout (1.7mm), mercedes on the other hand is 1.0mm. Runout measurement needs to be
done on a trueing stand not a balancer, have seen some great discrepincies over the years.

damn thats a lot for standards.
i've never seen any on alloy wheels of mine, fraction of a mm at the most on steel due to manufacturing limitation obviously certainly not close to a
1mm.

Yeah that was on a truing stand.. 
I lace up and true the spoke motorbike wheels at work, mine never go out the door unless they have less than a 1mm, But even in the RTA/RMS data they
have some ridiculous specs for runout/play in parts, like 6mm at the rim edge, if a bike has that much play there is about 20 seconds till the wheel
bearings collapse!
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!
