I just had new tires put on my car and I could feel that there was a slight vibration in the front end. I had the shop check it out and they said the right front wheel was slightly bent. So now I’m looking for a replacement. Funny thing is I never felt it with the P zeros on there before. I bought the car used six months ago.
If it's just slightly bent, bring it to a rim place and they can straighten it for probably less than $150. Reputable shops can do amazing things to bent rims with today's tools.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that since I've never had a bent rim before.
I had to do that many times on my XF which had way too little sidewall. As mentioned above there are wheel specialists who can straighten them out and they are amazing. I saw the before / after of the vibration when they spin it and it's incredible how straight they can make them. They might check the others for you at the same time. While a wheel shop can balance out some minor deformation, it drives much better if they fix the root cause.
