    I recently mounted Ansen offroad wheels from american racing on my 2011 tacoma, Ive balanced the wheels myself twice now and I still seem to have a vibration between 65-75 on the highway only. I balanced the wheels using the hub centric adapter on the balancer machine. After doing some research im seeing that most aftermarket wheels are lug centric. Im thinking I need to balance my wheels a third time using road force and the lug centric adapter for the balance machine. I got the toyota TRD lug nut kit- PTR27-35100. Could it be that I need the hub center adapter for my hubs to help center the wheels? Or that Im running the incorrect set of lug nuts for the wheels? I would just like to bite this vibration in the butt as it is anoyying to have my steering wheel shaking on the way to work each morning. I should note that I am running my factory 245/75R16 tires off my factory toyota steelies. Thanks for any info I need this vibration to be gone for good. upload_2021-4-24_20-34-1.jpgupload_2021-4-24_20-34-34.jpgupload_2021-4-24_20-40-19.jpgupload_2021-4-24_20-40-51.jpg

    Yea they are aluminum alloy wheels. This diagram was provided with my wheels. i believe my rims have either the conical seat or the tapered seat. I wasnt sure that the lug nuts are my issue due to the fact that one wheel seems to be vibrating. But who knows. upload_2021-4-25_13-27-51.jpg

    It seems that my wheels have the conical seat, as do those lug nuts so I may just need to road force.
