New wheels or tires causing vibration at higher speed.

Funny thing is I asked the guy every time I was at the shop if he was sure I didn't need the rings?

I mean, I ordered the rings with the wheels but he was like oh it fits fine without them and now after 3 tries to balance the wheels they are like "oh did you know you need rings for the hubs?" So obviously the rings I originally ordered were either sent back from the day of my install or they used them somewhere else.

We will see how this goes once we get the rings in. If from you guys are saying that the balance is only very slightly off then it must not be sitting right on the hub which is causing my problem.. I would assume..

Whats the stock hub size on these cars? My wheels bore is 73.1 in case I need to order these rings myself.

So the hub bore is 56.5mm, it is not easy finding that size but I got a set of these

The wheel bore matches perfectly but the hub bore is 57.1 while my hub is 56.5. Will being off by 0.6mm be noticed at all?

Well it was bothering me so I got these too 73mm OD, 56.5mm ID

So one of these is going to fit right dang it

So I had the gorilla rings put on 73.0mm to 56.5mm cost a whole 8 dollars and they fit snug on the hub and the wheel. Driving home all of the bouncing and vibration was gone when driving at speed and everything felt a lot better even in the turns. So long story short... PUT HUBCENTRIC RINGS ON YOUR CAR WHEN YOU GET NEW WHEELS.
