road force balancing is key. also when you find a shop that does it make sure you watch them do it. Some shops will allow it to be off .5, but make sure they zero out your wheels on the machine.

Also you might want to look into getting different hub rings. i had the crappy metal ones and they sucked ass. I bought new ones off ebay for 10 dollars and they solved my problem! If you want a link to my auction pm me and i will dig through my old auctions and find it for you! Hope you get everything figured out!
Road Force balancing?... any ideas which shop does a good in in SoCal.. around alhambra, los angeles area?

So what you're saying is take it back to the tire shop and see if they could find out what's wrong and keep on doing it till it stops vibrating.... also a quick question.. the tire only put the hub rings in the front wheels... is that correct?
Yes, take it back and like others are saying, to a shop with a road force balance machine.
Ask them to check that tires are ok too, that there's no out of round ones. Ask them to put hub rings on rear wheels too.
And like Alpine White Girl said, maybe better hub rings would help also. I asked a workshop to make me new ones and they were a very tight fit!
And when balancing, be satisfied only on 0 readings on every wheel. GL.

well, there's a set of rims I'm definitely not getting...

BTW OP, you have to do something about that reflector in the bumper - it totally kills the time attack. But you know, it does look really good already - just kill that orange ASAP

I would consider getting better hubcenrtic rings that fit tight...the ones I have right now suck lol and thats why the car vibrates. Im getting a shop to machine them next week and I am hoping that works.
