:( found the problem
Ok guys I figured it out today, while balancing the tires (which were way out of balance -at least one ounce on each side off) One of my lightweight kosei K1 wheels has a small bend in it which is almost un-noticible if I was to just glance at the wheel, but at speed and when it was on the balancing machine you can really see/feel it.
Really sucks with the info I have now as I can pinpoint the exact moment I bent it, all I was doing was backing out of a friends driveway a lil fast and where the gravel driveway met the asphalt road the hight difference was anywhere from 2-3 inches and I guess I just reversed a little to fast, I know this is why it bent because I comented to my friend how shitty the driveway was leveled last time and how abrupt that bump was.
