did you not do an inspection sheet with the NCOIC at the storage unit?
Yeah I did an inspection, but the bend is on the inside and difficult to see. I have 60 days to make a claim so I am gather up all the stuff I need for that.

As for right now I put on a new set of American Racing Bajas 16x8 which I was given a 50% discount on since I had the truck in three times and had new tires put on before sears decided to tell me my wheel was bent. They look good pretty much the same as my old ones only bigger holes and shinier.

Thanks everyone for all the replies and help

Violent bounce above 30mph tends to be the track bar (if it's a 4x4). Have someone rock the steering wheel back and forth and watch both ends of it to see if it has some slop to it.
Might be a bad wheel bearing too. Jack the front end up and spin both tires to listen to them. While it's in the air grab the top and bottom of each wheel and rock it (hard) to feel for play. Grease sticking to the rim is a good indicator that the bearing on that wheel bearing is blown.
A bent rim will throw the wheel out of balance and do it too.
