Quick update: Didnt want this thread to just die out without posting an update. After i tried milans wheels with ill effects on my GS i put my stockers back on. They were torqued to spec and for some weird reason the vibes were completely gone. I have no idea why they were vibrating before and not vibrating now. The only thing that changed is that they were torqued with a torque wrench instead of just being tightened with a lugnut remover.

Bro, you are always, I say always, should tighten it with a torque wrench to proper specs. Alot of times you get away with just using a breaker bar or whatever, but using a torque wrench can guarantee you; it will not loosen until your next oil change, you don't over torque it(which is a common practice, if you're not sure you over do it, but very very dangerous as 30% of wheels falling off are caused by over torque to the lugs) and you don't damage your lugs and studs.

Whatever the case may be im glad its not doing it anymore. Now if TM engineering could give me some type of sign that they are still in existence and that i might get this control arm bushing kit by the end of the century.

Mine is doing the same. I will leave my house to visit a friend's and it will shake like a tire has blown out. Then when I leave a few hours later, it's completely smooth. Sometimes while driving it will be smooth and then a second later start shaking out of nowhere, then smooth back out. I have all new parts for the front end, just haven't changed anything yet because of the weather.

I replaced alot of suspension parts including new tires and the shake still didn't go away.
Come to find out i had a bent rim. So check your rims for bends before shelling out big bucks like i did.
