aftermarket vibration
Getting really frustrated, On my second set of AM wheels and get a slight but noticeable vibration over 80mph. The first set were bent and got a refund from vendor. New set vibrates. Had them balanced twice and asked the tech if they are bent . Said they were fine. Does any know of centering rings? Maybe i shouldn't buy cheap wheels? The second set are cray mantas. Im thinking of going back to stock, I have new tires, tmps and some $ invested and they look awesome, but the difference in ride sucks
any ideas why they would vibrate?

Ive been preaching this for years on this forum.... same with crappy China made headers etc. I kept hearing how great the junk was and I was stupid to pay the price I was for headers and wheels that looked exactly like the Asian junk.... So the guy that buys junk, then realizes it actually is junk, then buys the better quality parts later now spent one and a half times that I did is not stupid huh?
