I got my 90 Carat back from a tire shop years ago. On the way home I noticed a pulsing in the brakes. I sawpped wheels with the spare until I discovered the offending wheel, which they had to have bent with either the installer tool or an air wrench set way too high. They never owned up to it, of course.
