Radial runout ( up and down ) of a new rim max .030
AXial runout ( in out ) about the same.
I don't have any printed specs at hand but this is an estimate based on just checking and mounting a pair of new expensive front wheels . It looked a little excessive so I checked a couple of used OEM wheels and they were a little better. I remember being informed by a starting line guy ( observing burnout ) that one of my rear wheels was bent , I think it was out about .060
, it was a spare pair of wheels that had a lot of runs with no problems.
Hope that helps ...Trevor
