Anyone with any experience with vibrations.
I feel the wheel vibrating a little but I definitely feel it in the pedals. It's ok until about 60mph, then from 60 to 80 I feel the vibrations.
The old guy at tiresplus supposedly did a roadforce balance when I took it back, but he seemed puzzled as to what that was so I'm thinking he just rebalanced with the normal machine. I tried loosening the lugs and retightening with the car off the ground. Next thought was to remove the hubcentric rings as I've heard they can actually sometimes cause vibration although I'm not sure how.
I got my alignment done again yesterday and they didn't have to change any specs from last alignment. What to do. Any ideas?
I'm thinking to call tiresplus and asking the dude if he can have someone with more experience with balancing do it for me.

Guys...you are all too kind. Trust me, when you put as much time money and sweat into your car to make it look the way you dream...it's all appreciated.
SWOOSH...all in due time, man. I was sweating these for friggin 9 months before buying them!
About the black on black, trust me, I'm with you...I THOUGHT I hated black on black too...lol. I guess there's a right and a wrong way to do it then.
I'm on Tein SS...1/2 thread left on front 3/4" on back.

Meh, a V6 6MT could definetely hold its own against reasonable competition.
But this is OT, back to ogling wheels!

But hers is a 4 cylinder automatic...trust me, it is SLOW! It tries hard, but doesn't move. lol.
blacktsx, no sir, I'm holding off for now. Looking into getting a front camber kit first. When I did the rear one it pulled the bottom of the wheel out so it sits almost flush, so I'm thinking a front one will do the same without the need for spacers.
Plus, it's a lot cheaper and doesn't require fender roll

ack something or other?!? lol....
Yeah, I actually like the contrast of the type S lights....maybe some nightshades on every area other than the silver part of the light. We'll see...I don't want it to be completely blacked out, I don't like that look!
TTK5, care to post a link to a thread you may have with pics? I've never seen these wheels on any other Acura.
Thanks for the compliments guys!

MODS: Can you add "9/15 Pics Added" to title please.
Decided to try the Unique Style Racing cleared tails. Was going to redo my headlights with the clear diffusers, but I really love the blacked out theme up front.
Some shots this morning after install last night.
Hope you all Enjoy!
