What the ..... wheel shake? 12lbs of force?

[ka24det-power]

So my wheels feel like they are out of balance. At about 50mph they start to shake a little and then it smoothes out after about 55-60mph. I had them rebalanced using a road force machine and it seemed to help a little but they still shake. They said the LF is at 14lbs and the RF is at 12lbs of force. Is that an acceptable range? Seems to me I have heard that 3-6lbs of force is ideal.

If not the wheel balance maybe the wheel bearing or alignment. It is making to noises and doesn't pull to either side.

What do you think? Get new tire and have them rebalanced?

I have the exact same problem. Ive been to countless shops tried different methods of balancing to no avail until I firgured out my problem. Hub rings. it seems as the ones supplied by Rays (ive got 18-inch gramlights) dont fit 100% snug. This small irregularity causes an out of round problem which creates vibration.

I stuffed some electrical tape on the hub, then squeezes the hub ring on to test and see if it made things got better and they did. I am currently having some custom rings made up to rid this problem completely.

I am not even using hub rings my wheels didn't come with any. I am pretty sure I tightned them in the air last time, I'll give that a try tonight.

I have the 18x9.5 and 18x8.5 Sport Max wheels.
