Please help.....wheel issue

OK so...some of might have seen that my earlier post about DWS

I have issues with DWS 60 vibration and in lower speed feel I am going on a bumpy road even when the road is nice ans smooth. My claim is FLAT spots.

They did road force and failed my wheels and claiming my tires are OK.

tire place claim it is the wheels I need to replace them and they can't do anything until I replace my wheels.

I do not want to buy new wheels and realize that the issue is tires. I do not want to spend a fortune here.

1. Is there any way I can get some wheels and mount them to try out? Should I go to the dealer and ask?
2. Should I tell them if I get wheels and if the tires are messed up they should pay my wheels cost?

What are my options here......pls help?

The chance of all 4 wheels being bad is pretty remote .. do you have stock wheels?

Ok .. was confused because your post said wheel(s) and them... to me indicates all wheels.


Its pretty hard to blame the tires when the tire shop by using a road force balancer has already determined its the wheel.

You are now claiming flat spots after 2 years? Flat spotting is when the tire developes a flat spot sitting in cold temperatures over nite etc or sitting for long periods of time BUT it goes away soon as the tire warms up some.

Is the tire shop that says your wheel is messed up the same shop that is offereing the replacement tires?

You have been offered a replacement set of tires.. take them....

To me it sounds like you have a wheel issue and you want someone to replace a whole set of tires first hoping its not that.
