My 19/20" CCWs did the same thing, vibrated/shimmied over 55-60mph. I had them balanced twice, both times the same result. Then I had them "roadforce balanced" (see link below) and they were PERFECT to 100mph+.

Might wanna try that before going through all the trouble/expense of mounting/dismounting/shipping them.

What shops have that system. Looks like it might be pretty effective

There is a locater in the top right corner of the home page, click on the tab that says "LOCATE A GSP 9700".

Like I said, it solved my problem 100%. I'll have ALL of my new wheels and tires balanced using this machine.

its possible that its an idiot

we have 2 regular balancers and then that one, we call it ride matching though

and 90 is kind of fast so a little shake should probably be expected

Those look good.

You know you can lower a C6 cheaper than a Supra?
