Yes they were supposably balanced, got alignment,but not all 4. Screws cannot be removed from rotors.......... had to drill out the backs of them to fit on. :angry: 02.gif tongue.gif

Okay thats good, not a bad thing at all.

BUT! are they cleared? meaning is there enough clearance between the captive bolts?

4 wheel Allignment ?? (if not ,please get one!) this will save you money on rubber and gas mileage.

Are they balanced correctly? meaning was the person putting the weights on an idiot?

Did you put on the hubcentric rings? I don't think they would cause your car to wobble but it would cause your steering wheel to shake.

Hubcentric rings allow the wheel to put most of the weight of the car on the HUB itself, not on the lugs.
