Thanks. I got in on the hgihway tonight and it seems to have a bit of a vibration in it somewhere. I am going to have my TPMS transferred shortly and will have them rebalanced then.

Thanks again guys. Its amazing the difference a set of wheels makes. They handle like its on rails. I can't spin em for nothing. Its like its glued to the road. They are super quiet, even in sharp turns at fairly high speeds. They don't squeal or anything.

I am going to redo my nightshades tomorrow and am working on getting overlays and satin black fusion for the emblems.

I was worried up until the point until I had one mounted. I was worried the black and blue was a mistake. I think the polished lip sets it off.

I actually just got my hub rings (fluorescent lime green WTF?) in two days ago. I am putting them on this weekend so I will know by then if they helped. If it doesn’t go away and a road force balance doesn’t help, I will send them back; as much as I hate to. I wonder if it vibrates because the front tires are so wide. I sure hope not. I love the look and want to proceed with mods but I am on hold until I get this vibration gone.

If I get rid of the vibration its just a matter of buying the drop kit and getting the Hellwig helper springs for the rear. I haul heavy loads sometimes so I want to be able to do that even being lowered and it not look all droopy. Other than that the only other thing I have planned for the exterior is Linex, FX2 Valance, New hood, and maybe Roush racing stripes in satin black.

After that I am moving to the engine compartment. Not sure what I am gonna do there yet but more power is in the future.

Hub centric rings are on. Vibration is still there. Damn. Road Force Balancing is next.
One good thing came from this today. They were only torque down to about 75lbs; if that. I could literally use two fingers on the torque wrench to remove ALL of the lug nuts and locks. I am so glad I had not been driving it. They are torque to 150 now. Let this serve as a lesson to always know your torque specs and never do it half-***.

Good news…Good news… I took her to get her shoes balanced today and the road force machine was broke. Brand new and broke. Sounds like the guy who got trained was off today, huh? Lol. Anyway, at this point I was out in the shop with them so I watched. They put them on the normal balancer and spun them to make sure they were not bent wheels or bad tires. Everything spun true. However, they were off balance by as much as 1.5 ounces each but also, the sticky weights were on the outside edge on the inside lip of the wheel. Hope that makes sense. He said this can cause a side to side vibration which must have been true because I have had it up to 55 so far with no vibrations. I will test it on my way home today up to my normal highway speeds which are usually under 75MPH. So far, I am pleased to finally have my shoes spinning like a well oiled machine.
