Need a favor

After a while to look for OEM set of wheels & tires for 02 C32 amg, I ended up to get these rims from tirerack:Bremmer BR05 18''. I still have vibrations at 65mph, after 2nd time of re-balance. I need to known the problems is from the car or rims before report it back to Tirerack. I'm calling out to get drive test these rims & tires on your car if possible.

Many thanks

Find someplace that can do a high speed on car balance. That will take care of the problem.

You probably need hubcentric rings. Very inexpencive and most of the time the solution to vibrations.

Found a thread on an Audi forum about the exact same wheels between forum members and TireRack. They have a 72.2mm bore so they "must" have rings fitted, driving without hub centric rings can cause all sorts of problems with wheel bearings and suspension components.
