That's an easy fix, you can pay someone or do it yourself. Just search "rimjob" and you will find videos
-
Yeah, but is really hard to do it yourself. Make sure you get someone to help you.

I handle all my own rimjobs. It was difficult at first, but learning to be flexible when these problems arise is ultimately a very satisfying endeavor.

I know a guy. Just ask rimjob_steve.

LOL

Something is wrong. The shim is not holding correctly. I think the spokes might be over tensioned, but I would try and replace it.
I am a former Buyer for a bike shop chain. I've handled thousands of bikes. This is not normal.

That, to me, screams out of round. I'd be worried.
-
I would not ride on this.
-
If it's brand new, just return it
-
Worried. Very worried. Return ASAP. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

That wheel will break in no time if you use it. Your neck may break, too.
Return it.

Definitely looks broken.
-
I can’t ride a bicycle but that looks fucked to me bruv
-
Just echoing what others have said here. That’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen.
-
It looks kinda broken to me but I'm not an expert on rims.
-
Perhaps a rim amateur?
-
-
If you did not build that wheel yourself, just return it right away.

This hurts my autism

That won't buff out.
