Nice , a full debadge would be nice.... the side badges are still there to tell all .... defeats debadging... what a sweet ride.... on the up close pics, I like the original rims better, but the photos speak volumes...new rims really really nice on the car....

Wow! That is amazing calibrations and science. Thank you very much for the link and your help. I doubt my dealer has such a machine, but I will ask.

I still have them, haven't decided if I want to keep them for mounting a set of winter tires or just sell them locally

Road force matches the high and low points of the wheel and tire for a more vibration free assembly.Also can identify "out of round" wheels and/or tires.More info on the Hunter website.

I know this is an older thread, but I've been researching Mercteil & I'm glad to finally see someone that has used them. They have some great stuff on their site.

The wheel dent was repaired yesterday, but I think I still detect a very slight vibration at higher speeds. Perhaps I also need this "road force balance", whatever that involves.
