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.

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
