I just bought some new rims and swapped my fairly new tires over... getting some steering wheel vibration up around 60-65mph.

Where do you guys go to have your wheels/tires balanced. Obviously the shop by my house didn't do the greatest job.

Is there anything that isn't on the east side? Or should I just go to another local schwab/discount and have give it another try?

 

Take it to www.experiencemu.com. Jake does good work.

 

I 2nd Colin.. good guy and I've used him in the past.

HOWEVER.. I recently took my car to TruLine in Seattle. Talk to Doug Tate (owner).. those guys are amazing. Had them align and corner balance my coilovers on the 996TT. If your in Seattle... give em a call. There prices are right on the money.

Colin is great, but TruLine in Bellevue is also very good. They take care not to scratch your rims and are very timely.

For your case, I would lean towards TruLine.

 

Thanks guys... got an appt for Thurs 10am.

 

I just had Doug do an alignment on my car. Got rid of most of the tramlining I was experiencing. Really knowledgable and reasonably priced too!

 

Another option is Group 2 in Ballard. They do a great job and are very reasonably priced. They are also an installer for Tire Rack.

 

+1 for Truline in Bellevue. they did a great job always with my pervious M3

 

www.ExperienceMU.com just sayin' =D

 

Both Truline and Group 2 are great. I suggest having them roadforce balanced. This puts load on the tire as if it was on a car, then it is balanced. Worked great for me to get rid of highway speed shudder.

Don't know if this is true but if it wasn't balanced right you would feel the vibration at a lower speed like around 40mph. At least that is what I was told. Might also need some sort of hubcentric ring.

 

Just needed some weights shifted around on the rim. TruLine did a great job and was CHEAP.

I'll be going back there for my spring/sway bar install... whenever I decide to pull the trigger.

Thanks 6speed!
