Things to consider:

1. Balancing on ROAD FORCE BALANCER - this machine will check the balance, rim run out (bent), and road force which could be a good cause for vibrations.

2. HUBCENTRIC RINGS - make sure you got your rings on the wheels and that they fit properly (tight). If they're not, you'll have vibartions.

Find a shop that uses the HUNTER 9700 ROAD FORCE BALANCER. Any other machine is useless in my opinion.

just had this happen to me. I thought it was my H&R spacers. My car shook like s^it over 80. I brought my car to a nissan dealer with a hunter roadforce machine and they re balanced all 4 and found that my left front wasnt truly round (roadforce was 37 lbs, and max is like 26 lbs). I am getting a new tire for that one free of charge, but even now, after they balanced it my car feels 10x better. I wouldnt think anything is wrong if they didnt tell me about the defective tire. I brought it to 120 mph to see if any vibration would come back at that speed and nothing.

Also like chico said, make sure you have hub rings. Just call a dealer who sells the rims and ask them if you aren't sure.

I have an appointment with the Hunter Road Force Balancer Monday and hopefully this will take care of my problem. They seem very knowledgeable and will check my wheels and tires and correct from there.

if you still get vibration after the hunte balancer, double check if you have the
proper centering rings. Inner diameter for nissan is 66.1mm.

What would the OD be for the car or the HP R5 wheels if you know off hand??? The guy at No Limit refused rebalancing and stated he had a Hunter balancer and that the HP wheels were junk. I refuse to believe that, just that I didn't buy wheels from him as these look better than the ones he tried to sell me. You win some, you loose some. I still think the rings are the ticket.
