    Folks, i need some guidance, i've had my 2017 Tundra Crewmax Limited for about 3-4 months and even when test driving it i noticed a little vibration around 65-67. Anyways, today i took it to the local Goodyear tire place for a rotation and balance and they told me the driver side front wheel is warped/bent. I am thinking about going back to the dealership as its a Certified Toyota but wanted everyones opinion.
    Thank you

    Sounds like a good excuse for new rims to me.

    But definitely see if the dealership will make it right first do you can sell the old ones :thumbsup:

    definitely go back. I think Toyota will help you.

    I did have the same thing happen many years ago with a new VW purchase for my wife. VW however, said we must have hit something and denied any help, even thought the rim and tire didnt have any damage or indication of being hit in any way. The service manager literally called me a liar. That is the reason I will never own a VW again. It does happen, new wheels can be off spec in manufacturing or damaged in transit.

    Folks, not good news. i went to the Toyota dealership here in town and basically all they done was to show me where the inspection on the truck was done for the certification that it did not show any warped/bent rim at all. Before i left i checked on a new one and they quoted me $650.00 or right in that range. My next step is to call Toyota North America, and see if i can get any help from them since i'm not getting anything from the dealership here.
    any thoughts or opinions are welcome.
    Thanks

    :rofl: what wheels cost 650 for just the wheel?

    Sorry...I know that sucks for you but I'm curious. With it having been so long since purchase and their records saying it was good when bought, they might not help you. Good news is that many people buy sell wheels on here and if you have the 20 inch limited wheels, most people replace those so you should be able to find some affordably

    Here is a couple of pictures of the rim. We moved it from the passenger front to the passenger back while rotating and balancing and no shake at all in the steering around 65.

    If you end up buying a new wheel, check out Hubcap Haven. I got a set of TRD Pro wheels for like $225 each and they looked like new.
