Gray Manta's

Well I installed the Cray Manta chrome's on the Z last week.. They came mounted and balanced, did not have time to drive it so today was the first trip.. One of rear 19" has a very slight wobble, and it does not feel like the wheels are balanced but they do have wheel weight's..I will have them rebalanced this weekend.. Here is a question for you..If a tire is not seated on the wheel will it hold air ???? It has sat for over a week and is fine... I am almost afraid that wheel is not true.. Can a wheel be balanced if it is not true ??? I don't want it if it's not just asking can one be balanced..

What do I know I build cabinets for a living, any how did as they said guess what not a wobble in the group and did not even have to have them rebalanced.... Said the factory wheels have a place for the clip to go into and the Cray Manta's are flat and the clip makes the wheel wobble... Thanks Marty and Jason at Buywheelstoday.com...
