Wheels that will not Ballance
I just bought wheels off tire rakck becuase the current wheels i had would not ballance..bought them off ebay which was the wrong thing to do. Just got the new wheels on and they are bouncing just like the others did. It is not a constant vibration it just bounces every 2 to 3 seconds and is driving me CRAZY!!!! It has stick on weights on it should i have the clip on ones on it or should i take it somewhere else to get it ballanced.Thanks Jeremy

have it balanced with a hunter road force balance machine. If you have cheap aftermarket wheels they arent made as well and the balance is off. I have 2 z06 repro wheels that won't balance

I have an older car with a set of true spoke wheels on them. I could never get them to ballance till someone told me to have the tire shop first static balance then without removing any weights from the static balance to spin balance. Surprising enough this process worked I no longer have any wheel vibration at any speed

Check with a Discount tire shop if you have one. Otherwise might try the yellow pages, add might indicate the force balancing. If that doesn't work you might check your shocks if the car has a few miles on it. That can also cause some tire vibration.

Are you positive that it is the wheels that are the problem? What about the tires? Find a place with the Hunter Road Force machine and see what they can find. Good luck.
