Rebalance/Allignment

Have a shake in the wheel when driving and thinking I need a rebalance or allignment. Have 19" Techart wheels on 06 C2S, where in NOVA can I get this done, and they won't mess up or charge a arm and a leg. I am more concern about them messing the car up. Don't really want to take it to the dealership if I don't have to.

If you can make it to Radial Tire in Silver Spring, do it. Otherwise, IMA in Chantilly or Funktion in Sterling both do this sort of thing regularly and I'm sure would get it done right.

It could be rotors as well. esp if it happens worse when you brake. Hopefully not though.

Does it do it at certain speeds? Like does it vibrate at 60 but not much at 50 or 70?

Probably due to an out-of-balance wheel. Get them all re-balanced. If that If that doesn't take care of it it could be a bent wheel, or an out-of-round wheel or tire. If its none of that get the allignment done. Sometimes the problem is worn shocks. Your car is too new for that though.
