Default Bent Rim or Tire?

When I got my blaze home last week I took it for a spin on the road and I noticed that one of my front tires was way out of balance. I knew that the quad had been sitting for a while and the tire was a little low on air 4psi. So I aired it up and figured that the tire was just warped due to sitting so long. But after riding this weekend it is still completely warped. I removed the rim and re-installed with no change. Anybody have this problem, is the rim bent? Or is it still just the tire from sitting?

I haven't noticed any problems from the quad sitting, but last time I was out I had a bad vibration from the front left at high speeds. I'm assuming my rim is warped. I can't see any bends but I can see a wobble in it when I spin it. I've got the cheap ITP's on mine but you've got the beadlocks right?. If I where you I would call the dealer and see about sending the bad one back for a swap. You just got it last week so it sounds like it was bad when you brought it home.

I've got a set of hipers on order and can't wait till they get here.

When I first got my speed it had a bad wobble. The holes in the rim where drilled off center causeing the problem. Either way it should be changed.
