Hubcentricity
My monoblocks start to shimmy at about 60mph. I had them checked and they are not bent. I was told i need a hub centric adaptor. How do you make a wheel hub centric. I'm not sure how this all works. Could someone offer any suggestions.

Who sold you wheels that did not have the correct Hub ring or did the hub centric ring come off? What wheels do you have?

brabus has changed their manufacturing, so this is a difficult question to answer, but something is wrong.
Did you check for radial runout of the wheel? sometimes a tire is out of round.

depends on the weather
just because they are new it doesn't mean that they can't be out-of-round .... find a shop with a GSP9700 balancer and they will be able to determine if the wheels or tires are causing your problems
