    Thanks for the commentary everyone.

    I checked around everywhere and McCormackRacing.com was not only the best price but included free lugs and free shipping. I was worried when I had a shipping snafu with Fedex but after a simple call she got the entire order straightened out and cleared within 2 days. I have mail ordered a lot of items over the past years and without a doubt this is one of the best experiences I have had.

    Sorry to dig up an old thread....

    To the OP, I purchased the same wheels you have (only in a 17") a while back and can't seem to get rid of my steering wheel shake. Did you experience this problem? Did you install hub centric rings? Road force balanced? Thanks in advance.

    I have no issues with shake what so ever and they are direct bolt on with no rings. My tires are Pirelli Scorpion which are known for vibrations yet all worked out great. I did have Toyota do the install...

    I do know that DC has amazing customer service so if nothing else is working you may want to reach out to them.

    Good luck and let me know how this works out.

    Thanks for your reply. I have had steering wheel shake since day one of putting these on. I have had them balanced 3 times, 1 of which was done by Toyota. They also "said" they took a new Toyota off the lot and put the wheels/tires from it on my truck and drove it. Said the shaking stopped. I called and talked to DC and they said to make sure they lugs are conical (which they are). I may give them a call back.

    When in doubt bring that firm but NICE attitude to the table. I have had more companies help me out fully just by playing that hand.

    Let me know how it all works out... The biggest wildcard next to the rims is your tires :(

    Problem is I don't have anything I could get the upper hand on them with. Yeah, you're right. I believe I'm gonna get them road force balanced. See if that helps. These new rims could have stressed the tires.

    i am looking into getting these wheels and was about to PM the both of you and see if you had any issues with these wheels (i think you 2 are the only ones on here with these wheels haha). Whenever I had mine put on i was going to get them road forced and i was going to buy the ET spline drive lugs from wheelers as they are narrower to fit in the hole and have the shanked end to center the wheel so hopefully that does it
