'03 EX-15" Inch VIBRATING

NEW EX purchased in 2003. A month later I purchased four new tires and 15" wheels - I think the car came with 14".

Since then, vehicle vibrates violently from 65 mph+. I have continuously balanced/aligned. All four tires are the same. Car is very regularly serviced.
Drives ONLY on Highway. Has 130,000.

For years, I have been told told it needed spacers . Now, I was told that
the four rims are bent. I gather they couldn't have been bent from the moment I bought them new (allegedly) from Sears.

Car continues to vibrate. Please assist. Thanks.

If you bought them from sears I would of took them back.

I would take off one of the wheels and look at the center hub, get it measured and buy some centering rings typically they are available in many sizes in mm's and are pretty cheap. Basically what will do hub match to your car. I think hondas are pretty standard like 73.1 so basically you are taking the space down to fit the honda hub.

Try that.
