Default XT wheels

I recently purchased a full set (4) of these wheels and 2 appear to be slightly bent and 2 seem to have a little runout. The way I checked them was to put them on a spindle with no caliper and made a jig and spun them. Checking the outside bead inside bead, face and rear face,then inside center for flat spots. The questions I have is are these wheels that crudely made and is there anybody in the business of trueing steel wheels out there.I do plan on driving the car on a limited basis and not just rolling on and off a trailer after restoration, Any info would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks

Stockton wheel in CA will straighten most any wheel if you aren't in a hurry.

Thanks.......I found them on the web and my wheels are sitting their now. I just seen a set go for $900 last month and just seen a set of 500 original mile ones go for $1400 this week. Unbelivable!!! I could have stockpiled 3 or 4 sets of these wheels 20 years ago in AZ. but knowone cared about these wheels even when they were new. I had to pay $350 for 4 warped ones (not knowing they were needing attention) and thought that was steep!
