Spring is here... Time to deal with lingering issues.

Since it's spring, and I've been buried to my eyeballs in shop work - I need to keep on my own car to get some things straightened out.
First off, my wheels. This is year 2 of dealing with these wheels and not being able to balance them. I bought them brand new from Tire Rack, and have already warrantied the tires once (and switched brands just to take that out of the picture.). I had it a week at one tire shop, and second shop (Goodyear factory store) for another week and a half where they took everything apart and checked everything with the car (found nothing wrong, still shimmy's at 65-75). So...
I thought a wheel repair company would be able to lend me a hand, however I called Motomotion (which is a local wheel repair business for damaged, bent and scratched (curbed) wheels. They wanted nothing to do with aftermarket wheels and suggested I take them back to Tire Rack to be replaced. I like the wheels, so I decided to keep working with them. I am dropping them off tomorrow to a local guy who works for local dealerships repairing aluminum wheels (bent, scratched and curbed). I'm going to give him a few days with the wheels (off the car) and see what he comes up with...
We'll see....
