Yes, if I had a wheel lathe, that would definitely be better! I can't agree more. Nothing beats using the right tools.
But, I'm pretty good at making the wheels true with a knife and there is already some level of play with new tires (60D s-grip radial) and new wheels. The level of un-trueness is so small, undetectable through driving when comparing new and used wheels.
