I'll start again...

Is it possible and/ or likely that a kerbed alloy causing vibration could simply need re-balancing (due to losing some metal from the kerbing) rather than being buckled? I have an alloy that is kerbed (not by me BTW) and is giving slight vibration at 75-80mph, nothing really below that. Is the likelihood that it's buckled? The kerb mark is about three inches long and maybe 1-1.5mm deep into the rim.


Thanks

Get the wheel up in the air so you can spin it and see how buckled (if at all). Set up something like an axle stand with a pencil taped to it (or something similar)Set it close to the edge of the rim and see how much difference there is in the gap between the end of the pencil and the rim as you spin it. If it doesn't look too bad get it re -balanced for a few quid.
