I checked for magnets…

The Ford dealership 18 year employee “his words” didn’t know what a pin-plate balance is. So I went to Costco because I know the crew, I use to manage the shop. From the factory every wheel was off by .50 ounce, which is why I felt the front end was off. Then the tech calls me over and shows me a wheel that’s bent! 5K miles and a bent wheel, not what I was expecting. So in your opinion, I’d it better to get a new wheel or change them all?

If the wheel was actually bent by you (not in shipping or other mishap), then you probably need stronger wheels. Are they factory wheels or ? I must confess, not sure I've heard the term "pin plate balance"... I assume it is to balance lug centric as opposed to hub centric.

Just replace the wheel. But the question is, how was ot bent and for how long?
