Im still experiencing shaking and vibration in my steering wheel with my after market wheels. Wheels are brand new and so are my tires. Had them balanced multiple times and even tried road force balanced, still no difference. I really don't want to take them off considering how good they look plus the money i've spent. Please help

Are centering or hub-centric rings used/needed? If so I would suspect the wrong size.

Yes I do. Maybe I have the wrong size rings

I checked. My wheel bore and hub bore are 72.5 and 72.56. I have 74.1 to 72.56 hub rings on them

have you checked for this recall? had this done earlier this year which I was told could cause driveline vibrations. also like mentioned above double check your suspension components for any wear and tear on bushing especially your tie rods. if all looks good I would suggest having the tires rebalanced somewhere else.

BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall on certain BMW models from Model Year 2011 to Model Year 2012 involving the rear driveshaft flexible disc. This safety recall involves the flexible disc, which transfers power between the transmission and the rear driveshaft.

ah okay you're the car I posted ealier about seeing the first car with white on white

oh, make sure you take a wire brush to your hub to make sure there's no buildup that would prevent the wheel from being mounted perfectly flat

Right! Lol. Thats why I don't want to take them off

here's what i'm talking about. after I painted my calipers and hubs I took my wheel off and you can see the build up from the paint. well, I didn't brush it down flat and when I reinstalled my wheels I had slight vibrations driving down the road. came back home and took a brush to the hub...slapped the wheels back on and the vibrations was gone. not saying your issue is the same but I would give it a try since those are new wheels
