Default vibrations gone!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/27121/dscf0306.jpg"></center><p>For those with vibration problems at 50-60 mph and with after market wheels, check if you have hub-centric wheels. If not, you may need to purchase a set of hub centric rings ($10) at discount tires. The rings will seat the wheels properly center on the wheel hub. I got a set installed today and no more vibrations! Best $10 I have ever spent.

How do you like those 18s compared to 17 inch wheels?

Default Looks a lot better

and rides better. Cornering is tighter and ride quality is not comprised.

Default Almost identical to the lorinsers

the lorinsers edges are a bit rounder. As for the wheels, they are strong, no trouble so far and I live in the great pot hole city of Seattle. Discount tires have them for about $175, a steal of a deal.
