Would it be worth using your parents wheels to narrow down the bad one of yours? Use three of theirs and swap through the 4 of yours until you find the bad one.

Sorry to hear that man. I just paid to have one my wheels repaired for the same thing.

Bummer! I brought it up to the tire center and they took a picture and had me fill out a form with the claim center. I got a confirmation call the next day going over the damage so we will see what they come up with.

I could probably try something like that to help determine the culprit. They instructed that the right front is most likely the worst one although there isn't a really good wheel in the bunch. They all took quite a bit of weight to balance and I believe the right front did take the most. They did seem to get them balanced pretty well this time and I feel pretty comfortable in the car going speeds north of 100. What's a little odd to me is that the right front wheel seems to be the worst but even when I had the vibrations I never once felt them in the steering wheel.

Well Costco denied my claim on my damaged wheel so I guess I either live with it or sell the set cheap and get something different. The mark isn't real noticeable but it's clear it took quite a bit of force to make and I have no clue how it would have gotten there otherwise. I'm skeptical that it wasn't caused by a tire machine but I'm not going to get any help there.
