I'd imagine that with the higher priced wheels, that they may come more in line, but for stock wheels, those things are hit and miss.
I think you're talking about built wheels; I'm talking about the manufacturing tolerances of the components used in the wheels, and it seems to me that having a gauge which measures to within 0.003" only makes sense if the components are manufactured to be within those same tolerances. FWIW when I build wheels I'm satisfied if I can get them to within less than 0.5mm of true.
