Can't imagine long bearing life with that kinda wobble at higher r's. I'll let someone with a wobbler and miles on it comment.

I wouldn't like it either. I have the ASP pulleys as well, and mine run true. Maybe yours have more WOT time on them, but at the price point they shouldn't wobble, in my opinion.

This is the "nothing but the best" crowd, right? If the part is failing or not up to spec, correct it.

Just my 2 cents.
