wagsy22 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I have 17" Stock Chrome Rims on my 98 GS400. Are these rims hub-centric or lug-centric? If lug centric, what is the proper way tto balance them? Wagsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 both the lugs have a acorn base to mount the studs to the rims and the bore is 60mm i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsy22 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 If it is both, what is the proper procedure to balance these wheels with tires? I am experiencing the ever-popular vibration at 60-75mph and am trying to acquire more information so I can provide the shop with instructions on how to balance Lexus wheels. I have been to discount tire 4 times, changed my Yokos to Pirellis, and still have the bad vibration. Even had road force done at Discount but it didnt solve my problem. I just wonder if Discount techs know what they are doing...and how wish I could find someone who does know how to balance these wheels....

shoaf213 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I have the same problem, athough my Rims aren't exactly the straightest, I had them road force balanced as well, seemed to be fine for about 3 days, then back to the same old thing. I bought hub rings when I had them balanced. I've pretty much given up on the idea of the vibs EVER going away. I just try to stay over or under the speed at which it's too annoying to bear!
