20's 5zr 3 piece BENT!

Im taking in my wheels to get straightened out tomorrow; the front wheels don't look like they are bent, just the back.
After I put the stock ones in the back, there is still vibrations past 70mph
Why? The rears were more prone to being bent because it is wider (staggered)
The balance is even in the front,
Anyone may know why the car still vibrates at the steering wheel?

May have knocked you alignment outta wack, get an alignment and see if that helps with your vibration issue

vibrations are usually caused from FRONT wheels. Might not be a bend.. probably just misbalanced?

I went 10.5 rear, 8.5 back so I can have more meat + save myself from getting owned up front.

Edit-- when you said balance is even what does that mean? Alignment or weight balance?

anyways, all 4 wheels are at the shop.
all 4 are bent inside.. the fronts outside and inside...
paying 675 to get them straight.. SUCKS
