Absolutely. The bead breaker can bend it if the operator is not careful. I'm not saying they did it, of course, but the possibility does exist.Just had my tires balanced. Dealer told me the one was bent and did the best they could. Those wheels were fine before I dropped them off. Can a balance machine bend one if not put on machine correctly?
Agreed. A normal balance should not bend a rim.From my knowledge it would be hard to bend a rim balancing a tire.
Good call. I immediately went to the bead breaker. If it’s balance only, then the rim was likely bent before you went in.Did they just balance them? OR did you have them switch the tires? From my knowledge it would be hard to bend a rim balancing a tire. They wouldn't be using a bead breaker for just a balance.
Yes the tires were already mounted from Tire Rack. They were fine before I swapped them out . I Havnt installed them on my new Jeep. If it shakes, they had to have done it. Thanks!!!!Absolutely.

Edit: I immediately thought the tires were being mounted, too. If it’s balance only, then it’s likely it was bent before. I should’ve read more carefully.
I would have to look at the paper if it even says it. He said he did the best he could to balance it. The wheels ran smooth as can be before. I never have them balanced but I figured after 10000 miles I would before I put them on the new jeepHow much weight are we talking about on the combo to get the machine to say yes??
Can you expand on all the parts to the equation? Which wheels? Which tires? What size? I can point you in the correct direction to know exactly what's going on if I know the rest of the story.

I had a similar XD wheel on my JK. It didn’t take that much weight to balance them.I’m not at home now but there were at least 11 squares in a row. Lol Both have less then 10000 miles. Funny thing is one of my other wheels has two rows of 12 and some in top.
