Hub centric rings is pretty common knowledge for aftermarket wheels. Not everyone mentions them or use them. There are pretty much a hard requirement for aftermarket wheels, I think many don't run them because they are lazy. I use them, and I put anti-seize lube on them. Zero issues.

[@tiduschenable]

Swap both your rear tyres with your front tyres bro. If the vibration switch location to your steering, it means you have bad tires. This is the only way to proof that you have defective new tyres. It happened to me before but the fkin dealership still refuse to change the defective tyre. In the end I bought a new Tyre and problem solved.

[@BJ-wo4mi]

I always thought the aluminum ones were the best bet?

[@DavidusMaximus654]

Sometimes the aluminum with enough vibration can weld itself to the wheel or sometimes from heat cycles the expansion then contractions of diameters will squeeze the 'cheaper' aluminum into the wheel. For duration aluminum is great but for good manipulation plastic/ poly is decent. Look at poly-bushes for example

[@weduhpeople8504]

0:38 The page you show from Tire Rack says that you need to torque the lug nuts while the vehicle/wheel is off the ground so it can stay centered. In the video it shows one wheel being torqued while on the jack and another wheel is torqued while on the ground. I hope you get it figured out Cam.

The fk8 won't tell you the tire pressure because honda is using an indirect tpms system that dosnt use sensors, but the abs sensor on each hub measures how long it takes to make one revolution, and if its much different then the other ones, then it knows there is a pressure issue, that goes for overinflation also, thought you might want to know. Awesome vids man, i know its frustrating but i know you will eventually figure it out. Good luck

[@Camhill182]

Thanks for the info!

[@spoolin2bars]

Do you have factory or aftermarket lugs? I’m not sure of your car but Honda’s have had ball seat lugs on all the older cars I’ve had. And all aftermarket wheels have conical seats on them. That’s how they center the wheel with the cone shaped lugs and wheel seats. They are called lug centric design as oppose to hub centric design like many BMW or German made vehicles. You can also be extra careful when putting the lugs on to not tighten one down all the way to the wheel but get it close and then get another close and you’ll actually see the wheel get centered. As others have said rotate the wheels to see if vibration moves to the steering wheel. Lastly, the road force balance tells the installer where to mark the tire to rotate on the rim. If they didn’t let the air out, break the beads and spin the tires they didn’t do anything but print some numbers out. I know this because I’ve been into cars all my life and worked for Discount Tire for 10 years. I couldn’t tell you how many tire wheel combo’s I’ve had in the last 30 years of modding and drag racing and road racing Hondas and other imports. Probably 100+ Good luck.

The road force balance was just a check, they didn’t actually perform any adjustments because it was within spec. My vibration still exists but it’s barely noticeable now. I just wanted to share this because it’s not just aftermarket wheels and tires that have this issue.

[@artblackwood7936]

Nearly all aftermarket wheels will need hub rings. I bought some Wedssport wheels and they offered really cool hub ring/logo wheel inserts. Nicely made. Won't corrode. Typically tire rack automatically includes plastic hub centering rings. You do have lug nuts that are made for your wheels., right?

[@NvSrAgE679]

When I bought my TE’s from Vivid the rings were a part of what I needed for the wheels with centre caps and lugs. Also I’ve used Michelin’s many times on many cars never had an issue. My Type R has PS4S’s and they were mint when Honda dealership put them on with no issues since. I did have one issue with an old cup tire once but Michelin replaced it right away through warranty. But again all wheel work has always been done at the dealership. They even put a new guide on the tire machine before putting the new tires on the new TE’s.

I had a friend with 9th gen civic who only cared about looks with zero knowledge of wheels and suspension. slammed with cut lowering springs, aftermarket ebay wheels with no hub rings and using oem lug nuts on aftermarket wheels. he would drive it like this everywhere bouncing, scraping and bottoming out, vibrates the whole car even at just 45 mph. cracked his rims so he would loss air every couple days, some of his lug studs broke off and some are cross threaded with just 2.5 - 3 lug nuts holding some of the wheels. I tried to advice him of what little that I know but he just didnt care as long as his car looks good regardless of how it performed. he eventually sold the car but I am surprised he didnt get to any accidents.

I knew hub rings were a thing because anytime you buy wheels from tirerack, they include them. That said, I didn't use them and never had an issue.

[@applejunkie83]

Honestly I think it's a quality control thing with the tire manufacturers as of late. I'm having the same issue on a 24 Outback Wilderness that I threw some Falken Wildpeak Trails on last month. I've had them balanced twice, last time was road force balanced at the Subaru dealer. It's not a vibration in the steering wheel, but a pulsation in the floorboard and seats at 65-70 mph. Car had 300 miles on it when I swapped tires. I'm about to file a warranty claim with Tire Rack myself. Good Luck!

[@Camhill182]

Good luck to you too! if you remember, please comment back here and let me know how that goes! I'll be calling them tomorrow as soon as they open

[@applejunkie83]

For sure. I went down an online tire conspiracy rabbit hole a couple weeks ago. LOL Apparently certain manufactures will source and produce tires from plants in different countries. Falken has a plant in Japan and Taiwan and the enthusiast's will seek out the Japanese variant because they historically have less issues than the Taiwanese. I'd imagine Michelin does the same. Tire Rack has such a huge reach in the market makes you wonder if, in order to maximize profit and keep prices competitive, they source their tires from the cheapest plant. It just sucks because in both our cases we're talking brand new wheels that we know damn well are most certainly true, so it automatically rules them out as the culprit. I feel like a lunatic when I return asking for another balance or rotation because it's still not right.

First of all. That's not where you put a jack stand under the lug/rotor. That's not going to stop the car from falling and it will damage the rotor if it does. With the tires being out of balance there's a trick to pop the tires off the bead and rotate them 180 degrees on the rim and inflate them, then try and balance them again. Another thing that might be the problem is the alignment on the car is setup for the stock rims. Could maybe be affecting it those aren't the exact same size rims as stock are they?

Audi is nice. Genesis GV70 would be better to save money and get more for your money.

[@Camhill182]

We do like the Genesis GV70! Need to go test drive one. No, I probably wont work at all this week

[@Camhill182]

they're still pretty expensive for the used ones because they're so new.

Does she have to get an Suv? My wife has the Audi Rs3 hatch and she LOVES it! Super nice car, fun, spacious, good for the kids, dct transmission... Bit pricey but they retain their value better than the Q5

[@nattpheomthawee5786]

Put Bmw x3m on the list she might like it 😅

[@JonHop1]

@nattpheomthawee5786 don't know a ton about BMW, but, I do like the X3 M.. But if he can, he should really try to steer clear of larger displacement engines, because trust me, I work in the energy sector, and I'm telling u, as things are progressing, gas will be unaffordable for most Americans in the years to come. And that is by design of our Government. Filling a big v6 or v8 will be brutal. I think the x3 comes in 2.0l, so that would be a nice option.

I've been having the same issue for months ever since I got new wheels, I have Works and they claim they are already hub centric...re balanced twice and still small vibrations :/

[@Camhill182]

[@superflyguy4488]

Some drilled and grooved disks on those wheel bud.
