So finally checked and wheels are hub centric. Took lugs off and tried to move around but it didn't. So now I'm not sure what could be the cause.

If you tried balancing and using hub centric rings, the next thing to look at are your tires. They may not be "true" (not completly round, although it balances okay). Not all tires are made the same and lower end tires will have this problem with low profiles.

i have 22" lexani lx-10 and i am getting a vibration at 70mph unless i turn the steering wheel to the left/right quick and then speed up to 75 then it kinda goes away a little. i think i need this rings. but i dont know what i need to use to measure, just a regular tape measure would work? i am not smart with these things. would discount tires(or america tires, same company different name) /bell tires know about this and know how to do it? where do i measure from? sorry for all the dumb question but i spent a lot of money on this rims and the expensive TPMS and the result i get is a car that i cant enjoy or have people in the back. i will NEVER buy a 22'' rims again for this car.

so much regret but got to experience it to learn.

thanks in advance i also apologized if i am thread jacking.

I'm pretty sure the hub bores on your wheels are 74.1 mm so you need 74.1 to 72.56 hub rings unless your installer put them on for you.

I had the samme issue with my new 20" wheels. Vibration at 100km/h and up.

I took the wheels to a local shop who refitted the tires to the rims and balanced them again and now it's silk smooth.

I am having the same problem, but I have the Stock OEM M-sport rims. My car has had this vibration from day one. They replaced the front drivers tire, and both rear tires 'cause they couldn't road force balance them. That was at 400 miles. I now have 1,350 miles and I still have a slight shake coming from my rear right side of the car. happens around 65mph - 75mph and I can see my passenger seat wobble back and forth and can feel it in my drivers seat and slightly under the car as if it hops around those speeds.

I am taking the car back in again to the dealership Monday morning, would anyone else know what the 'cause of this would be?

If the car was vibration free after the dealer replaced the front, driver's tire, you might have simply lost a weight off one the wheels, or perhaps you have hit a pothole and bent a wheel?

Why do people keep buying crappy aftermarket wheels???

Have your tire shop ensure the tires are "true". I found that anytime you purchase outside of an accredited tire shop you run the risk of purchasing tires that have been sitting in a wear house for long periods of time and may not be 100% round. I bought tires and wheels from wheel fire.com for my range rover and this was the exact issue. I put on new tires which were reimbursed after i proved the irregularity and the Problem was solved. Hope this helps.

Noticed now that my problem is worse when it's raining. Can definitely feel it compared to minimal vibration with no rain. Still coming only from the driver rear only it feels like. Weird.
