New rims- vibration...

My new rims vibrate at higher speeds. The shop has a state of the art balancer. They have tried a static balance and a dynamic balance. Neither has resolved the problem. I watched both times and each wheel balanced to zero as well. What next?

Then re-align the car or get them balanced somewhere else. Just because its "state of the art", it doesn't mean the idiot running it knows how to use it.

AMERICAN RACING SUGGESTION: Fool the machine into reading the weight placement area better by putting the width at 5.5 instead of 6.5 and do a static balance with stick on weights only, and place them on the inside as clost to the spokes as possible from the back.

Well try this.
