Took the wheels off my wifes 2021 rolled them down the driveway to detail the wheels up and they constantly wanted to fall over to the outside. It seemed as if they are wearing funny. Tires are only 8k miles old at most. Bone Stock car. Or is it just the fact the weight of the wheel with all the face being on the outside it wants to do that? They didnt really "LOOK" worn more outside than in. Just based on my rolling them down the driveway. Wheels are the Black stock wheels.

Maybe im dreaming this all up in my head.....

What do you think?

It is just the weight of the wheel. It is best to lay them down on the backside so that they don't fall on the front (face) and get scratched up.

It’s just where most of the weight is on the wheel.

Maybe check your tire Pressures and you can also do the old school method and get some chalk and color part of the tread and then roll it and see if it look uneven (if ya can't tell by looking at it)

I don't think the "rolled down the driveway" test is considered industry standard.
