Question about rims

I recently purchased a set of Giovanna Kobe 17" Rims. I love the rims they look great, and I got a great deal on them 550 w/ tires (used). However I noticed on the front right rim. The inside of the rim has about 8 aluminum weights. I get alot of shake (ON and OFF) when I get up to about 55 = 60 mph. Now I looked over the Rim and it seems as if its not bent. Seems like it's perfectly fine. Could it be a "out of place" belt in the tire itself? Or could it just need to be re-balanced? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

BTW - Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with my Sig?

YAY!

I'm not to sure, but IMO I would get it rebalanced. No wheel should have that much tire weights on it. And as for your sig...try checking the sticky on the Off Topic forum for info...I think it might help!

You should definately check on getting another balance job. That seems like a lot of weights...

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
get it rebalanced, and if it still shakes, get centering rings and make sure the tires are properly inflated. if that doesnt work, then i dont know what else you can do.

Get it rebalanced or check the rim to see if its bent.
