I had this trouble so the tire place "road force tested" the whole set and found out that I had a defective rim.

Ask them if they did a road force test, if not, that should pin point the problem with 100% accuracy.

You need hubcentric adapters on Rebels I am pretty sure.

That is why I did not go with them.

I dont think they have hubcentric? Arent those wheels centered by the studs, not the hub? If I were you, just pay the extra $$ and have them road force tested and that should tell the tech where the problem lies.

So get them road force tested first before I do anything else If I do need the rings where do I find them,Also guys who have the rebels told me when they put on the rings all problems were solved no shaking or vibrating.But I'll get them road force tested first and see.Thanks
