Default Re: TROUBLE!!!!!!!!

see if your tire shop has hub rings for your truck,they fill the gap between your hub and the hub opening on the wheel .our bolt pattern is the same as 8 lug dodges and most custom wheels have larger center bores to fit the dodges,even though the lugs line the wheel up its the center that seats on the hub and one will always be a drop higher or lower than the other even though it isnt noticeable to the eye it will affect the shake in the wheel.ill only buy hubcentric wheels from now on.theres only a few for our trucks.try the hunter road force balancer it will definately help.

I took it to a local tire center here and found that the whole set was out of balance. There were actually 2 of the wheels that I will have to send back to the manufacturer due to them being 5+ oz off (they are "suppose" to be right on the money without variation). Now, I'm out an additional $130 for the balancing and another probably $150-$200 for the mounting/shipping and remounting. I'm beginning to believe that this might have been a bad thing to get into to. Hopefully I get some resolution soon.

I had Goliath RIMS installed. When they took off the OEM RIMS they had approximately 19 ounces of lead on each RIM. This place was off the interstate a did an awesome 18 wheeler business in Elkhart, IN. After replacing the RIMS ,which was very professional, they put 200 count of sand in each wheel. I get "no " vibration or pull.A real smooth ride. You might want to look into something like I did.

Why would you need hub rings? Even if the hole in the wheel is larger than the hub, the lugnuts center the wheel on the rotor when they are pulled down on the studs.

HOW THE FU*K IS IT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS WHEN YOU PURCHASED NEW TIRES AND WHEELS ? if the wheels are properly designed and manufactured than all you would need is a simple ballance. the 22's I had never needed any thing but a simple ballance. the plastic or aluminum rings are a bandaid for out of tollerance wheels and if you can get a refund on those wheels or get another brand you will will be better off in the long run .
