So I am noticing a minor vibration when around 45-50 MPH but goes away after. Any ideas what this could be related to? I was thinking the 22" rims which are I am already considering replacing. Thanks,

 

I would agree, wheels and tires are the first to check for balancing.

Pirelli tyres are prone to flat spotting I've heard. I have similar but it moves around speed wise. Mine had only covered 1000 mike's in the 2 years before I bought it so I suspect a flat spot that's improving as I drive

I could be wrong though ..

Typically this would either be out of balance wheels, damaged tyres or out of round wheels.

Thanks all, more reason to look at replacing these rims/tires. Looking at getting a set of these ROHANA rims.

 

Not for me, but from a practical point of view, they look quite fragile?

Rather impressive, though.

If you go with the Rohana wheels, call Mike directly at Rohana, because I ordered a set of 4 from carid, they were not supplying the lug bolts nor the hub centric rings, and then after confirming fitment and offset for my Bentley GT, and then paying for the order which they said was in stock, carid canceled my order stating that the wheels did not conform to their weight requirements for the Bentley GT.

So I called Rohana directly and spoke with Mike who confirmed that the wheels met the required weight specs for the GT, I also saved $ by dealing with Mike, as Rohana includes the special lug bolts, socket, hub centric rings, and delivery in the price of 2220.00

Thanks, just saw their offices are actually in Chicago. Prob go swing by there this week.

 

Yeah with my car being dark green thought this might help it pop a bit better than black. Never thought about rims being fragile, is that an issue people actually run into?

 

Not sure about the Continental but certainly Maserati GS wheels are renowned for being able to bend in the smallest pothole.

My Jaaaaaaaag had pseudo split rims and I bent two of them on a pothole on a Motorway.

Typically it's the inner rim that gets deformed, which is not surprising given as wheels get wider the inner rim is further and further way from the support of the spokes.
