I actually understand FCAs point on being stock prior to repairs, especially so early into a vehicles life. Rules out bad tires or wheels on their part. I know the odds of those being the problem are very small, but they do engineering, inspections, quality control, and troubleshooting based on their own research and designs. There probably hundreds of wheel designs out there. I've read some threads on people getting bad wheels from aftermarket manufacturers also, FCA doesn't want another variable they have no control over introduced.Steering was same before changing wheels at approximately 70 miles on odometer. Had two sport s models ordered due to communication issue. When the other came in with exact build, but a different color, I drove it and no issues. Had I known changing the wheels would have caused issues on repair work I obviously would have waited. Service knew I had issues with steering. Sales knew I was swapping out wheels. Unfortunately I did not know changing wheels would cause a repair issue. I read many steering problem posts on JL forums and no one mentioned this that I saw. My point is it's a Wrangler and swapping out wheels as soon as vehicle arrives is common. Seems like an excuse by FCA to ignore what is known to be an issue.
