HK GTS wheels are not made of natural timber, just plastic to look like simulated walnut.
It should sit flat on a flat surface. A bit 'bowey' is generally from impact damage from an accident, (or rough installation/removal).
Is it the top of the wheel that is bent away from you if in driving position?

I agree. I have one and it'd take a lot more than that to convince me to part with it.
