Default 37s wobble

I just got new wheels and tires today they are the fuel trophy wheels with 37 MTRs and I noticed in the rearview mirror it had a little wobble to it. And a guy that was riding in front of me pulled me over and told me my front wheel was warped I guess he saw the same I've saw. I know the wheels are warped because they are new and it was 2 different ones. What could be the problem?

There are numerous people who've had balancing issues with MTRs. I'd take them back to the installer.

Have the stock lug retainer clips been removed prior to installing aftermarket wheels?

Make sure they removed the factory rotor keepers.

What's is the rotor keepers? I had rockstars on before these. And I put them on. They came mounted and balanced from where I ordered them

Rotor keepers are the little flat serrated looking washers on the wheel studs to 'keep' the rotors on there during assembly.

I didn't notice any but I will pull them off and check. It rides smooth just noticing a small wobble

if you feel it in your steering wheel or see it in your mirror its the fronts that need balanced. if you feel it in your seat it can be the rear ones

X2. Try and find someone with a road force balancer. These tires are notorious for being difficult to balance.
