Good news! Now that the vibration problem is solved, return the bad wheel and get your refund.

Yeah, I think you're just going to have to take "the leap of faith"---especially now that the vendor has been so thoroughly aired out on here.

Just send the wheel back and ask for the refund. If it is as stated by 3 different wheel balancers (not right), you should be getting a refund for the wheel, and for the postage to mail it back as well. Hopefully, that will end this chapter.

I might add though that I wouldn't be happy with a vibration over 80 since there are times/places where that is possible.
