WOW, wheels balanced, FINALLY!!!
I bought a set of Z06 chrome wheels from Tomz Wheels last year and had them installed at a local alignment shop by a guy who is a mechanic for an ALMS racing team. I had him balance them twice and still had a vibration so I thought that the wheel was out of round and couldn't be balanced perfectly. I read a post here about someone taking their car to a shop that used the Hunter Balancing machine and how great it was. Well this morning I took my car to a local tire shop that uses the Hunter, the guy had it done in less than an hour and I've never had a smoother ride since I've owned this car! I'm sold, if you have a vibration in your car or need an alignment here's a link that finds shops using this machine.

great; probably glad to get that monkey off your back.
I myself can sense the slightest vibration... and can't ever seem to ignore it. So it dwells and dwells on me until I can get it elliminated.

Yep, thought it was terminal. Glad it wasn't. Hey Tim that sure is a nice car your wife just bought, think she'll let you drive it? That looks like the buy of the century!

Glad you finally got them balanced. Can be frustrating when you just can't seem to get rid of a vibration.
