HP wheels wont balance hey guys- i got a set of hpr5s a while back and i've been driving with them shaking like hell for a while now. so i took them to a shop and they said they would try to rebalance them for me but they may have to put weights on the lip to get it balanced right. anyone else having this problem? also, could this be cause of the tires? the tires are hankooks. thanks

Well i balance tires at my job...and Ive only had a problem with one style 20 inch spokers.....I havent ever NOT been able to balance a wheel/tire combo other than those...and i even got them balanced after about 20 minutes of spinnin and retryin weights...and on "custom" wheels i only use sticky unless the customer wants hammer-on weights....I hate people hammerin on a custom wheel...just makes me curnge up...well if u was close to me id tell ya come let me try'm....but oh well...good luck on that one.

now did they sau they wouldnt balance or are u just noticing a vibration while driving? im not familiar with these wheels but if the center isnt machined EXACTLY for ur vehicle then most company sell a spacer ring that is and will center the rim on the hub. although a static or alloy type balance isnt always accurate as dynamic (weights on both sides) it can still be done with very little if any problems. also ask them if the tire is hopping on the rim.... the tire may need to be spun on the rim to help align the high and low spots. i do this for a living so if u have any questions u can pm me. hope some of this helps.
