i was jumping my new 84' R off of a jump that i made next to the house and afwards i was driving through my track and on the straight way i noticed that the wheel had a bit of a wobble and i didn't know if i did it or it was like that...is this going to get worser if i ride it more and faster? :evil:

i would bet money it will get worse ,,, maybe even take a few other componets out also ( bearings, seals and the like ) if you continue to run hard and jump it too.

if the bend isnt too bad it shouldnt matter...you can see if it's the rim by switching the rear tires...if the wobble goes with the tire, you bent the rim but if it stays then you bent your axil...

get a dial indicator and see if the axle falls within spec. if you where jumping it high or landing pretty hard, those old stock rims probably couldnt hold up to the stress

i would say its your rear bearings because thats wat mine did to me this weekend and i paid the price for it cause i now have to buy a new bearing carrier because my bearings went the trashed the carrier

I bet you bent the axle. The rims themselves are really tough. I just barely nicked a little tree and bent my axle before. Take the wheel off and spin the axle, if it is bent you will most likely be able to see it as it turns. Take it out and take it to just about any machine/welding type shop and they can straighten it out. Or get a durablue for around $400. :(
