Just want to share the pic ...

Some of you might remember me with a shaking 20" problem. Sorry for the crappy picture. I took it with my phone.

Next : will lower it (got the spring already!!) and put spoilers.

I'll post a better picture when I'm done lowering my car.peace..

Nice! Those R10's will make you look like this... ...for at least a week.

By the way, did you already buy your tires?

You know what i had the same "shaking problem" with my Axis Milanos, after reading mlist84's post about it, i thought it was a defect with the wheels. But indeed my front 2 tires needed high speed balancing.

after the wheels were re-balanced, the shim went away.

Uhhh, I don't know why you quoted me, but if you're referring to the original poster...

I believe mlist84 had some vibration problems with the car which he noted after driving over a certain speed. He also noted this after having had his tires mounted onto his 20" wheels.

EDITED TO ADD:
OK, 2ke60 was actually the one I recalled having this problem.
