    They helped some, but I still have ordered hub centric rings. If I were you, I would get the rings first, as others have suggested. If your wheels have a standard hub, unlike mine, the rings will be far cheaper than lugs.

    OK well got my driveshaft back and the guy says "I'm surprised this thing didn't shake your truck apart" it was way out...from the factory! Toyota Canada will be getting a pleasant call in the morning. This truck has only seen highway and summers. The mild vibration has always been there but not to the extent as it it when I put on bigger aftermarket wheels and tires now it showed it's true colours. I read another thread on this forum of a gentleman that had the same yr and truck as mine and from 1 mile it had a vibrations and he also had a shaft way out of balance.
    Anyways, it is a lot better I bought some better quality lug nuts as well and I still feel a vibration. I'm hoping that those hub rings get to you sooner so I know what the outcome is @CurtB

    Hub rings helped a lot but I believe my issue has to do with the rims... And or tires. So as for now it's very tolerable to drive and occasionally I will get a little shimmy but new rims and tires next year.

    Finally got my custom size rings installed and had a long drive on smooth pavement. They helped a little more, but there is still a tiny bit of shake in the steering wheel at 60-65 mph. I have another matching wheel, so I'm going to swap it out one at a time to see if I can isolate the culprit. OCD I suppose. :)

    Why did Ulrawheel make the hub center an odd size though? $88 for the ring set, when standard sizes are $12-15. :(
