factory wheels?
Wheels are factory. Tires are definitely being replaced, but only after I isolate the issue causing them to go bad. It would be foolish to put new tires on it only for them to go bad shortly after.

I'll take the car to a shop to check for bent wheels and then rotate them back and forth and see how that affects it. I suppose I could also see if that causes the rear wheels to begin cupping after being driven on the front of the car for a few weeks.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll try those first and see from there.
