My mate who owned the car before me spent his entire life with the car getting the wheels balanced and replacing most of the front end to no avail. I'm beginning to think it's the 17" BK Alpina reps I keep hearing wobble stories about!!!

Will have to try some other rims

I've got the option of some MIM 1900 15" for not very much, but they will need a refurb. May go for them as I'm sick of the wheel shake :x

sorry to sound like a dim-wit but are you referring to what are currently green rings that fit onto the hub to centre the wheels on my car?

Where would I go for such items?

cheers!

Called them and they no longer do them.
However i have decided to get a set of 18" Alpina reps from elsewhere.
Balanced with tyres bolts etc Ԛ£650 delivered, just requires the rear arches rolling.
