Vibrations
I did a search with no results, but I do remember reading about someone who bought a set of rims and experienced vibrations when going 60+mph in the steering wheel and floor. I balanced my rims twice within a two week period, and three times if you count tireracks balancing. Someone has the solution to this problem by using spacers or something. Please let me know.

Yup, that was me. My rear wheel weren't fitting snug b/c of the rotor caps. The center holes of the rear wheels weren't deep enough. Major vibration! Made me want to cry. I got wheel spacers for all four wheels and it solved the prob. They couldn't have been more than .25" thick, but were this enough so the rear wheels fit snug as a bug. The ride is smooth as ever now (bouncy, but smooth).

I am pretty sure all four fit snug and are hub centric. Where did you get the spacers? Where did you buy your rims?
Best place to get them? Or are they something that are pretty evenly priced at tire shops?

Gotta run, if you got more questions I'll be back tomorrow.
