I bought these wheels and tires from a forum member.
First time put it on, the car was vibrating really bad during highway speed.
So I took them off and did wheel balancing, but after that it still shakes really bad at same speed. A friend of mine said he had same issue with these wheels(TE37), after he put adapters on, problem solved. I tried search online but can't find the adapter and don't really know what kinds of adapter he was talking about.
Please excuse my English if I made any grammatical errors

Just a few things to check: What size is the bolt pattern of the wheels? 5x120? If its 5x114 you'll need a hub adaptor.

Other things to check:

Any cracks or bends in the wheels (doubtful but just check). Wheel bearings in good order? Are the tires new or old? If they wheels were sitting on a car for a while not driven, the tires could of developed some deficiencies.

I'd start with this.

Appreciate the info! Will visit a professional wheel shop tomorrow and mention these things. Thank you very much!

You might want to do a on car wheel balance.

If you are near NY, give ravspec a call. Got my hub rings from there when I had my LE37.

Did you get a alignment after you put your wheels on?

[Maxf80M3]

I had the same problem with a different wheel, Ended up being the wheel bore was distorted.

Does the center bore of the wheel fit exactly on the hub? or is it bigger?

If it is bigger you need hub-rings. When getting the wheels balanced you should have asked the shop to check for bends.

Another option is road force balancing, the tire high spot might need flipping on the rim.
