Default Racestar Vibration Issue
Got my 15x10 w/7.5 BS Racestars on and they're vibrating pretty bad. I'm taking them to get balanced on Monday, but I don't think that's the root of the problem. I am thinking hubcentric spacers may be the answer to the problem. Anyone else with Racestars have this issue??

After doing some quick research, I'm pretty sure I need hubcentric rings. But looking for other people's input nonetheless.

i had the same problem but with my front rims...

Hub rings took care of the problem. You should be all set once you have the rings put on the rear...

Great guys over there at Jim's Racing

Thanks brother. I appreciate your help.
I'm getting them balanced on Monday, and if that doesn't solve the problem, I'll do some measuring and get some rings.

I think the vibration is most likely coming from your vagina lips slapping together too hard.

I never said it wasn't funny lol.
Yeah, with traction, he's fucked lol. Maybe I should actually heat the bottle up next time too?
I just opened it up and let it eat last time, bottle pressure was at like 875-900 lol
