Need Help W/RIM's
Ok, I need some help. lol, as a few of you have seen, I may be just a little heavier on the gas pedal than the average person.... This damn vibration is ridiculous, where can I get a remedy for this before I chuck these back to the garage and fish out my 16's.
I've already had them balanced (after a flat and a bent rim on Sun) the wobble is a little better but only noticeable to me since I know how bad it was previously. Will a shop be able to find the correct size hubcentric ring since I don't have the box to give them the correct size (Unless someone knows where there is a 'Niche' website)?
What's the more likely correction, the hubcentric or castor bushings?

You have plastic hubrings on there now? Ebay has them. If it is not the rings, then it is indeed the balancing. Some places do a crappy job when it comes to balancing tires. I go all the way to a spot in BK to get mine done because they know how to balance tires correctly with no shimmy.

I don't have anything on there right now. How do I know how to get the correct size? If I take it to a shop, will they be able to do it correctly? Or is there a way to measure it and do it myself?
I just put them on about two weeks ago but hadn't really been above 50mph because of the snow.
Cherplex, I'm trying to stop the shakes, lol, that drift coming out so clean was partly by accident (and a prayer) .....

Didn't feel like waiting for ebay to deliver so went and bought some rings from a shop out in Qns ($30) cut the vibration down by 60-70%, car drives like a normal car now (not a Lex, just normal) so it's a step in the right direction.
