I just got my wheels in 18x8. When they were first installed they would shimmy from 55 to 80 everywhere else they were smoot as silk. I had them order hubcentric rings which they installed yesterday. Now it shimys from 60 to 75. It feels like a tire is out of round or out of balance. The rims have been checked twice they are true. They have been rebalanced twice. The tire place is startign to F with me about them being performance tires that they wont ride the same. I keep explaining its not a "riding" Issue but they keep saying it is. My factory ones were smooth as silk at those speeds to. So anyone else have this problem with new wheels? Any ideas how to fix this? I hate to make them buy them back because they are exactly what I want in looks but they sux to drive on....
