Default Interesting Problem

Ok, I have some Privat Profils that have been on my car for a few months. I've put maybe 150 miles on them and they have always had a vibration to them that I have'nt been able to cure. I just put my transmission back in my car and while testing it on jackstands, my buddy noticed that both of my rear wheels move up and down as they spin. It is the whole wheel and tire that is moving. It looks like I have two bent axles and If I wasn't the first owner of the car I would wonder, but I have never done anything to bend them. He said that since the Profils don't fit perfectly on the circular piece that protrudes from the axle or hub that even the lugnuts may not line it up correctly. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Are the wheels hub centric? Meaning the center hole of the wheel is tight to the center "button" of the axle??

call privat. they should have a spacer that will center the rim on the hub of the axle. if the rims were made for your car they wont be exact and will need these.

Nope. They don't fit tight over the button which is probably the problem.
