e46 nasty shake at highway speeds

[hamant]

are you sure its as bad as a rumble strip? that doesn't sound like a balancing issue... but you should get the rim replaced to rule it out atleast...


is the rim sitting flush on the hub?

i took the wheel off today to look at things, and while putting it back on , i notic 3-4mm up and downplay, so im gonna get some rings to rule that out

[hamant]

sorry, i didn't mean replaced.. i meant rebalanced... the play is most likely the issue..

if the there are no vibration on low speeds and only on speeds such as between 80-120 then you need hubcentric rings 100%.. i had tsw's and they certainly need hubcentric rings.

I had a similar vibration just after I bought my car. Replaced a new set of "Chinese rotors" with Zimmermans. Cure the vibration for me.
