Pretty sure there is several different kinds of beads so my guess is they used the wrong kind.
I think some wheels are just fucked period. I tried both methods as well as road forcing the wheels & tires from about 5 different shops in town that supposedly know what they're doing. Road Forcing proved to be better than the rest but there's still a weird vibration that will phase/cycle in and out while going down the interstate and passing through a curve some times. Funny thing is you can speed up to like 85mph and the vibe goes away lol so go figure. The wheels are all true as well, they were checked by 2 different rim repair specialty shops. I've given up on chasing the issue. It happens rarely unless going like 60-70mph and it's cost me quite a bit trying to figure it out without any real results. Bottom line I think a road force balance will be your best bet with those wheels. But from personal experience I would be weary to buy them if he's saying that up front. If you can save and wait, buy yourself some 22x14's new. They can always be warranted out through the dealer & manufacturer if there's an underlying issue with the rim itself
i'd do what he says. you can see quite a lot when the wheels & tires are spinning freely on a balancer. 3 of mine spinning on there look fine. the one bad one i have is like 18oz out of balance on one side according to a static balance. it spins fine on the balancer at low speeds but you can see a slight movement on the balancer at higher speeds which I assume is the slight vibration i'm feeling. I tried to warrant the issue out but XD & the vendor both kinda fucked me since the XD Diesels are discontinued and almost impossible to find in 22x14 chrome with a 6x5.5 pattern lol. So that's the only reason I'd suggest buying brand new wheels but if it's a trade I can understand saving money too. Hopefully a good tire & balancing shop can fix any balance issues
