new to this. Just bought these otherwise seemingly unridden bombshell wheels off of fb marketplace
Should I just try to true it? I know how to but i'm hesitant because I feel i'm not very good at it
Would you guys say this is "true"

Definitely not!
yes, they should be trued.
only a few spots need attention. its fine if you are not confident in you skills, just dont make multiple adjustments at once. work in 1/4-1/2 turns only annd only 1-2 spokes at a time and then check your work.
also, before you begin, take the bike for a short ride to fully settle and relieve the spokes of excess torsion. (spoke twist) otherwise you most likely will just have to true it again
need work but very little
Not true
thanks guys!
if they are really unridden then they can definitely get better.
just remember, it is better to make 100 too-small adjustments than 1 too-large adjustment. keep your adjustments tiny and consistent and build up to a true wheel slowly.
Yah, needs attention for sure. Also check it true in other direction
True enough. But it I’m gonna pull out a spoke wrench, not even close.
They need some work, but remember. Someone out there is currently riding something worse and thinking its Totally fine.
Nope. And it wouldn’t take much to true it.
