Wheel Balancing?
For those with AFTERMARKET wheels only, are you guys (gals) having problems keeping the wheels balanced?

When I bought them used(already mounted), they were vibrating pretty bad. I took them to a local shop and he balanced them. They did fine for a little while but they are vibrating again...maybe a weight fell off.

my rec is to clean the crap out of them before balancing, less chance they will half *** the job and stick it on a dirtysurface for it to fall off later

I sort of have a problem, I'm not real sure if it's with the wheels or tires. The tires are pretty low profile, 245/40/18's. If all the tires are not with in 2 PSI of each other I can feel a little shaking at highway speeds. So I keep all tires at 25PSI.

even pressure has been the biggest improver for me. When they're not the same I can REALLY feel it. Car pulls to one side. When they're balanced pressure the car tracks straight. I've decided that all the extra grip from the Coil over and tq arm has made it extra sensitive and treat it accordingly.

I go to DirecTire there the best at mounting and balancing they know there **** too, the guy said on aftermarket wheels they always put the weights inside the wheel, which I prefer a hell lot better.. but to answer your question ive had no problems with my wheels..
