I had/have similar issues. Probably not as bad ,but I am obsessive and want all to be perfect. I think its your wheels. I would check the hub rings, and have them replaced anyway. they are cheap. If you have 3pc wheels I would have them checked. I had a set of asanti's that were out of round and caused vibration. I returned them and got a nice 1 pc cast wheel, ipod adapter, and a tanabe exhaust. To each his own ,but I am done with 3 pc wheels

My wheels are out of it's one year warranty period. How did you get your Asanti's returned, were you within the warranty period? Any advice for complaining and repairing out of round wheels is greatly appreciated. Particularly, from iForged.

We all know from history it's hit or miss with iForged.
The Davinci's look alright rolling but I think the look is better suited to a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger. Especially when sitting still.
I think they are a little too big too.
All in all, the look is dramatic. Especially when rolling.

Yeah. Forged 2/3 piece wheels should be stronger (depending on materials) but cast alloy wheels would actually hold tighter tolerances due to the manufacturing process. 2/3 piece wheels are CNC machined then assembled together whereas cast wheels are molded into a tool (similar to plastic injection molding).

Vibration Issues!
Okay... I ordered a new set of hubcentric rings from iForged.
Yesterday, I removed each wheel individually and tried to use the best fit ring for each wheel/hub. After re-installing all wheels, adjusting the air pressure then driving on the highway I still feel the same vibrations (steering wheel, seat and floor).
Today I removed all of the wheels and re-installed the stocks. The car ran like a Caddy on the highway. I visually inspected each wheel and couldn't find the problem. Basically, I couldn't detect a bend.
I'm thinking about dropping off the wheels/tires to Wheels America or Wheel Techniques to analyze the wheels. From earlier posts, the wheels and tires supposedly passed a Hunter GSP 9700 road force test twice. Any feedback would be great.

i have a different problem haha. my guy ordered me huncentric rings that are aluminum so i realized that when i break my steering all the way it sounds like metal scraping. it took me such a long time to realize that the ring was the cause. i always kept on looking to see what it was touching. i just ordered plastic rings for the front.
let me ask you i called d2tech where that white gs came out from cause i was curious to know what they exactly modified. they told me that they removed the the rear bumper brackets. i shaved my brackets all the way as possible. is it possible to remove the rear brackets with out the bumper hanging and stuff lol.
