I bought a set of Mahle with tyres.
I brought them to a shop to have them balanced.
When I put them on the car it started to vibrate at 90 to 120 kmh (55 to 75 Mph)
Brought it back to the shop, redid the balance, didn't help. They say, the tyres may be warped. I bought them a new set of tyres, let it balance ... didn't help.
They sent me to another shop that has a better machine. They put (a lot of)weigths inside and outside the rim (ugly), but it didn't helped.
The problem occured when I bought these rims I figure they may be bent ...
Could this old and wise guy be right ?
