I am sure you have already checked, but it sounds like you may have too much air in the tires. If not maybe there is something wrong with the tires themselves and not necessarily the wheels.
I highly doubt that the tires are bad they are brand new nito 555's
When I went to axis today they went above and beyond to try to fix it...we actually found out that their balancing machine was not computing correctly....so they took it to another shop and payed them to balance it...it all zeroed out (balanced) after this it help the shaking alot now it only shakes on some roads instead of all roads.
So basically Im thinking its a harmonics problem and I just need stiffer springs. I just wish someone who has been through this already can save me alota time
Thanks,

As far as my 20s I don't have any shaking or DSC coming on when i'm making turns (Slow or fast). I don't know what to tell you seems like everyone already suggested all the stuff I was gonna say 
Like rodyBMW said the Hub rings should've helped I hope you solve this problem. At least your rims look good

Yes now they have the hubcentric rings on and it helped but still have minor shaking but it is much better
Im wondering if it is the coils? maybe the factore sport coils are too soft?
Thanks HooKed

Hey,
I just got back on this morning and when going through this post I'm shocked! I purchased my EXE KonKourse wheels on Sat. July 01, 2006 from Peter at Axis wheels in Gardena. He told me I was the first to get the wheels in So. Cal. He came out and took pics of my car and they used to be on the site. After reading this post I noticed the site has been updated. One pic of my set-up remains on the site, if you click through on the KonKourse link click on the small third thumbnail (blowup of the wheel) and a pic of the left rear of my car comes up.
I was first shocked to hear that hooked was told he was the first to get the wheels and then HE GOT HIS FREEEEEEE! WOW I'm hurt.
I put pics up on the gallery, and even posted in the "Post Pics of Your Hot Aftermarket Wheels" thread all earlier this month. Guess who I'm about to call

My apologies, in my state of shock I forgot to address the issue of steering. I initially had my EXE KonKourse's mounted on Michelin PS2's (24530/20 front 285/30/20 rear) NEVER so much as a shimmy or any steering issues. I did however have some major rubbing issues in the front and rear.
After getting input from cattman, I decided to make a change in tire sizes. My budget did not support going with Michelins again so I went with Toyo Proxes 4's, 255/30 front, 295/25 rear. Immediately after the remounting on Toyo's I did experience shaking between 60 to 70mph and then it would smooth out. I went back to tire shop and they re-checked balance, funny they also said their machine was slightly off and after rebalancing NO shake whatsoever. I can say the Toyo's are not as quiet or smooth as the Michelin's but my baby runs and looks sweet to me.
