Since no one could tell me where I could get those Cosmic rims I needed new rubber so I got these Nexo 18's wrapped in Pirreli PZero's :lol:

Slight problem is they vibrate so I will have to go and have them re-balanced and see if that fixes it, if not I will have to return them as I can't stand the vibration even though it is small. :evil:

the vibration may be due to having the wrong hub locating size on the rim but this is no an uncommon problem with after market wheel

simple fix is have you wheel supplier supply a ring to make up the difference,this will fix the problem

hope you understand if not the wheel place where you bought the wheels from will

Thanks very much, I got the car booked this afternoon the get the wheels balanced and I will ask them about the spacer hub thingy. I rang the place where I bought the rims from and the main guy is on holiday and said if the balance didn't work then he would find out about the spacer. Hopefully it will be resolved today and I can enjoy the new rims cause I like the look but not the ride!!

Latest Update:

Got car re-balanced and found two tyres to be out. After having these two tyres balanced it only improved the ride slightly as there is still moderate vibration at 100/110.

Spacers thingys were on the rims so that wasn't it. I called the place where i got the rims from and unfortunately the main guy is on holiday for another 2 weeks so they can't help me till then. Argh!@#()(($(($()$())++#$#$. He thought it may be that the wrong size spacer thingy are on at present.

Oh well I have to wait now and see what happens then, I'll keep you good folk posted.
