I agree that the inspection done during Certification is very lax at some dealerships, especially when it comes to wheels. Both times I bought CPO Lexus cars, at least 2 or 3 wheels were out of round. I've had wheels repaired by both the dealership (I complained after i bought my IS about vibration at highway speeds and they realized 3 of 4 wheels were out of round!) and by a local spot near me who charged me $75 to fix curb rash/out of round wheels on my '13 GS.

I had Lexus replace all four of my rims because they told me everything was great when I bought my 2015 GS CPO. But the car was pulling and there was vibration. They swore up and down there were no bent rims on the car. After months of back and forth, I was able to prove the rims were bent when they sold them to me because the CPO service report itself stated the rims were bent. The dealership was shady and hid that from me. I got them dead to rights on that, they replaced them at their expense.

The same 2015 GS CPO also came with a rock chip on the passenger side of windshield . Must be the same guy who inspected the wheels. I find this interesting , that the bent out of round wheels were both on the back of the car .
