Ive had H&R Hubcentric spacers to rims that were hubcentric as well and I STILL got a massive vibration. This was installed at a shop that has done everything from porsche turbos to 7 series all the time so I know it isnt the shops fault...
I still didn' t hear you say they were done on car...makes all the difference.

It says that your shop works on BMW 7's and Porsches. Good for them. One of our local shops works on those, Ferrari, the stuff for the local Lambo dealer, and regularly does 22-24" wheel packages. It looks nice and clean. But it still doesn't ride as good as the stuff I get done on car at the lower tech shop.....I still don't see any info about balancing on car.
Wow.

Sorry, been outta town and haven't been around to rumble....
Yes, I see your post. Yes, I see it says "properly installed". Sometimes I'm stupid. Have been before, will be again. Do I take this to mean that they are balanced on car, or am I just supposed to assume that? No offense intended, but many shops think that just because they have a road force balancer that the job is at its best. It's just that my definition of "p-roperly installed" includes on car balancing. If yours does too, then we're on the same page. I'm simply saying that I have yet to ride on a job that was NOT done oncar that rode as smooth as one that HAD. That's all.
And as far as me being fishy, I'm guessing that the majority of the folks here were still on their Big Wheels when I bought my first new BMW. That was over 30 years ago, and it has been 32 years since I bought my first German car, a slightly used 911. That was 32 years ago.
This internet deal is kinda fun. It may catch on after all.
Old guy out now.

My Ride: 2006 550i Titanium Silver Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple Wood Trim, Cold Weather Package, Premium Sound Package, Sport Package, Steptronic, Navigation, Electric Rear Sunshades, Heated Rear Seats, Sirius Radio
After a little over a week I can say that I love the ride so much I wouldn't consider doing anything that could possible have a negative effect. And I love how it looks as well. No spacers for me.
