Default Pics of my ride - MRR HR2 and Tints

Only after a month and the modding bug hits.

I tinted her myself - 35% all around.

19" MRR HR2 on 245/35 all around.

I just go the wheels on today and its shakes big time between 55 and 60MPH. I watched the shop do the balance on 2 wheels. I'm assuming they balanced the other 2 but to make sure I'll bring it back to them. Besides the balance anything else can it be?

Wheels look clean. You should lower it. As for vibrations, did you add hubcentric rings?

yeah...I'll lower it eventually. It looks like a 4X4 but that's an expense I can't take right now.

Where can I get hubcentric rings?

Yeah, I'm going to bring it back to them. I paid for all 4 to be balanced and I watched them do 2 so I assumed they did the other 2.

Nice wheels. Must be hubrings issue that cause your vibration. Need to find outer diameter of your wheel. Lexus is 66.06. If you have discount tire in your area, they might have them.

Looks like you did a nice job on the tint. Wheels are looking good, would look even better with a drop.

Wanna sell me your third brake light?

Thanks, I've had enough practice over the years with the cars I've owned so i've been able to get pretty good at it. Not good enough to want to start my own shop but good enough where by I get no bubbles and my time is love of labor.

Taking the third brake light out is a PIA so i'll pass unless you want to come over to take it off and then pay me for them. LOL

I agree whole heartedly and would love to do the drop but I got a boss to report to.

No discount tire in my kneck of the woods but we have NTB (National Tire & Battery) or perhaps the place I took my car too would have them.
