Default My IS250 shakes and alignment not helping

My car is kinda shaky so I took it in for an alignment and got the car back and its still shaky in the left front it feels like. Any ideas on what it could be....? I am running Vossen CV1 20's with BCR COILS.

Need more info, when does it happen? Does it increase shaking with speed. My guess without more info is a bent rim.

It happens only above 45-50, tires are great condition. I'll go get them re-balanced Monday and see if that is it.

Hub rings not need if your hub is centric on the wheel. My Weds dont need them as it sit rite on the hub with out movement.

roll on your stocks. do a 50/50. but like all.. if u don't got hub rings and your wheels are not hub centric. then that might be your problem.

I'm fixing to go check the balance on the wheels, if they check out good then ill go pick up a set of hub rings and hopefully that helps. It's not a bad shake but I can feel it, and my wife drives it to work so she's freakin out lol. Thanks guys for the replies
