20" brabus monoblock s, vibration + pull
I am experiencing vibration over 45mph, in addition the car is pulling to the right. The car has been aligned and balanced by mercedes.
They blame the vibration on the wheels and the pull, they call it tire-pull.
I need some feedback!

You have 20" wheels with lowpro tires - they will never be balanced perfectly...
Are these reps or authentic rims?
That could be your problem - if not it's the tires...
With lower profile tires, they sometimes come out of the mold out of round and no amount of balancing will fix the problem...

Take the right wheel with tire off and exchange it with the left. If it pulls to the left then that new tire is bad. It happens all the time. Whomever you bought the tire from should replace it for you if the problem follows the tire/wheel. Most likely, that's causing the vibration as well.

If they are directionals it needs to be dismounted from the rim and swapped. You basically need to get the tire that is on the right front of the car now on the drivers side front. If the alignment is perfect and the car still pulls, most likely, it's the tire. Good luck.

The vibration was caused by a spacer that was not hub centric. 3 spacers are from brabus, the third one is unknown. The vibration went away, the pull is still there.
The tires were switched, pull is still there.
Any ideas?
