The last set of wheels and tires I got from TireRack did not have hubcentric rings and all 4 wheels were out of balance.

Hard to believe...

I got two sets of tires and one set of AMG wheels from The Tire Rack and they were all not only perfectly balanced, but they even had the correct air pressure for my car. They were delivered to my local installer in two days and I could not have been happier.

I have also read dozens of threads on this forum praising their work. Who installed your tires? It's amazing what can happen when a careless installer knocks off wheel weights.

i had my turbo style tires exchanged for the same thing only chromed. we love the look, but we have been losing tire pressure since then. a local mechanic suggested the seal is not good on the rims. the dealer made this exchange for about a grand. gonna have to take the car back and hae them check it out.
