Common problem with aftermarket wheels. Half @$$ tire shops usually balance the tires the quickest way possible which is putting a centering cone on the outside of the wheel to center it on the balancer. Many aftermarket wheels machine the inside of the wheel but not the outside so the wheel is balanced without being centered on the machine.

The Hunter road force machine usually solves the problem with the right operator. My last set of wheels was balanced first with a regular high speed machine, wheels and tires had a vibration. I don't think I'd have any future wheels balanced by a non-road force machine again.

Road force balance for sure and check to see if you need hub rings.

I had the same issue, ICONZ wheels were installed but my car was wobbling and shaking all over the place over 60 mph. I then took it to a reputable shop that could balance the wheels properly now everything is fine. No shaking or any issues. Im sure all you need is a shop that can balance them properly. And just for laughs you wouldnt believe what I was charged. THe first place that mounted the tires included the balancing in the price of the tire, so I thought it was a steal. But obviously they didnt balance the wheels properly. So I called a place that I knew has the correct equipment and skill to balance them properly. On the phone they told me $15-$20 a wheel to balance. So I make an appointment and wait for the car while they do it. After its pulled in and put on a lift it takes a maximum of 25 minutes until the car is pulled back out and taken for a test ride. I get the bill And its $155. I couldnt believe it could cost that much for balancing. Lets just say I think they forgot the lubricant. LOL at least thats my opinion. But the car no longer shakes at all.

I would definitely recommend that you get the wheels re balanced on a Hunter GSP9700 road force balancing machine. Click here to locate the nearest Hunter GSP9700 machine near you!

It seems I get my tires balanced every week
I have used road force as well Good tech > Road force Good tech and Road force > good tech Good tech is key Half the time , at 4-5 diff shops They never even removed old weights Lazy and ineffective in dynamic balancing Find good tech preferably with road force Lazy tech with road force is not as good as good tech without One thing. Road force mentions are only device that can determine wheel error Or tire error such as tire run out My two cents |
