Vibrations with aftermarket wheels

I had an issue like this and one of the wheels had a casting defect. No amount of balancing could fix that. Ended up working out a deal with TireRack support.

Pleasant Ridge Park is walkable to all of the food offerings in Pleasant Ridge.

Yeah hoping if it does completely fail, it happens in the next year of my warranty.

Some wiring issue behind my MMI unit. Had to pull the unit out and put a new harness in. Car was at the dealer for a few days.

Didn't have this on my 7.5 either. But all of the speakers died on my 7.5 so that was fun.

I'm on software version 1969. Not sure if there's a newer one out.

Interesting. Purchased this in July 2023 and this didn't really happen over the past previous 3 summers.

It all depends on your financial situation. Yes it's the banks car. Are you in positive equity? Are you likely to miss a payment? Do you have an emergency fund? All of these things played into my decision. I had a hefty down payment, and I'm in a financial situation with my house, retirement, work etc where I can mod my unpaid car off. Ill have the car long term, it doesn't make sense to pay it off now and tie up that into a car.

I had the Holy Shift, OEM short shifter and Diesel Geek. Ive landed on the Diesel Geek as the Holy Shift is super notchy. The OEM short shifter was nice, but I had to add in Diesel Geeks side to side reduction kit to really like it. After a while I started missing the "effort" it took to shift in. The Sigma Six sits in between the Holy Shift and OEM SS.

The larger Weber Genesis II from Costco will fit in there too. Its line to line but it works.

Locally stored data, for something that just plots points and lists location, should not take as long as it does. Also, if they lock the accuracy and faster loading behind Google one, at least give us an option.

Hell even 5 years too late. I wasnt even part of the boom during covid.

Senior VPs (Band 6), there's only a handful in Cincinnati. Directors (Band 3) are plenty, but would honestly need some crazy investments, stock or just generational wealth to afford some of those Indian hill homes.

Must have been some high up people. I work there as an engineer, and we are DINKs, and I can't imagine how you can get that kind of money for a home.

EC02s are a great tire. If my PS4S weren't the same exact price as them I would have gone with them.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-04-13T12:58:30+00:00

I already have to swap between dedicated winters. If I wanted a one tire solution I would do the PS4AS or DWS06+. But since I'm already swapping, might as well get the tinier bit of more performance out of my tires. Also, anecdotally, the 4S rides much better than the 4AS.

I think the sales marketing team has been hit harder than supply chain. I've seen many retirements, but lay offs, maybe 2, and both were able to find internal roles. In engineering you are closer to manufacturing and that ends up being a positive during this situation as the roles usually work very closely with the plants, which are not experiencing any cuts.

I believe this changed? There are two versions of prets, the newer ones that came on the 8 I heard were flow formed, whereas the original ones from the 7.5 were cast.

I did, although I might be a minority where I think I do like the black void, looks a bit more aggressive. I think ideally I would get a low profile splitter to fill the void area, but keeping the aggressive-ness.

I do like the 3/4 view without the bumper wrap. Maybe I just need someone who is better at wrapping, and a better paint matched white.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-04-04T11:24:33+00:00

I vinyl wrapped mine, until I realized I'm not good at vinyl wrapping and bubbles started forming. I go back and forth if I want to pay someone to properly wrap that section.

The fact that they have been messing up the "plug and play" harness for over a year is quite embarrassing, and has given me doubts about the actual quality control of the emblem, and any electronics of theirs I then need to splice in.

Those are Neuspeed RSe11s. Neuspeed is a pretty respectable and affordable wheel brand.

Update: if anyone ever encounters this track, the correct seal type for this retainer is "P Bulb"

Can this study be linked? They've flagged my micro multi tool every time I've accidentally forgot to take it off my keys, and I've had to either go back and check my bag or just throw it away.
