They sent me to another shop and they inspected the wheels and tires for anomalies. Everything seem fine and consistent with America's Tire, Big John's, and others. They did another road force balance and stripped off all weights on the wheels. They did a clean slate and put in weights down to 1 ounce increments. I drover the car with the tech and it drove much better. The vibration is there but it's very slight.
Here's the interesting part. We put on my OEM wheels and there was also a slight vibration
It may have been there but not paid attention to it.
I drove the car with the Miro's back home and the ride is fine with a very faint vibration. It's something I can live with. If I wanted a plush right, I would get a MB. Clearly, I didn't and am happy right now.

Glad you are happy with it....happy motoring

The funny thing is, I'll be in Grover Beach that weekend with an RV and will be camping. I definitely can go maybe for lunch since I don't want to leave my guests at the beach too long. But I didn't plan on bringin' my bmw since it's all sand and all.

We leave for Oceano on 6/21 through 6/26...I'm towing the toy hauler into the back dunes and just hang out and ride all weekend...no internet, no tv, no work, just me and my boy.
