You'll need to set up the camera on a tripod and do a much slower run on the truer/balancer under much better light. Get close up on the dial and slowly turn the rim so the needle doesn't bounce all over the place. We'll need to see the exact low and high points. If you want to do a wider angle to show the rim rotating as well which will show the weld spot. But as of right now that's not such an important thing to see as it is to see the full sweep on the gauge.
Remember to do it slowly so the needle doesn't bounce around. You'll also want to set up the gauge to measure the outside edge of the rim/lip. From the vid it looks like there is some side to side wobble, but not sure if it was from camera work, bad angles, or the rim wasn't secured in the truer/balancer properly. Its going to help us get a much better picture of the condition of the rim if we have good vid of the axial and radial run out readings.
