Default Wheels Again

I have decided to install a set of ZR1 reproduction wheels on my 08. I have researched here and found the vendor I want. I have a couple questions though. First, is it necessary to have the wheels checked for run-out before mounting the new tires? I have bought two sets of truck rims in the last two years. All eight were within tolerance what ever that was. I take it I should have new TPMS seals installed. Anything else I need to be concerned with? Thanks. Later! Frank

my answer would be, yes. it will prevent any "drama" later on, in the event there is anything wrong with the wheel(s).

House of Wheels customer here, wheels were almost perfect. My front two had a fairly glossy black powdercoat, while my rears were slightly more matte. Obviously a powdercoating issue, less a production issue.

They ran perfectly true to my eye and balanced very well. Never felt a vibration or experienced any abnormal wear.
