Sounds similar to an experience I once had---just kept getting worse. Best bet is to "cut & run" at the first sign of incompetence. I hope everything works out to your satisfaction.

I can't believe the difference in the looks of your car with the new wheels. They are stunning with compliment that paint job great. The bottom half now just jumps out when compared to the pic with the stock wheels.

tashspop,

Now that I see your paintjob in the sunlight it looks really, really nice. I would have to agree with SRT-6'er and say paint your front calipers, but I'd recommend painting both front and back and use the main gold/orange color... I think that would stand out nicely and would really rock that excellent wheel setup you have!

Great job! (GOD I love five spoke wheels!)

Tashpop:

I have the same rims and experienced the same problem. It turns out the 19" I placed on my passenger side was slightly non-circular. I just got the replacement and am waiting for the hub centric rings to come in. That should stop the issue with bumping past 60 mph.

i finially got firestone to fix my spindle and bearing over the weekend. they took all day so i didn't get to go have a new muffler put on like i planned to. everything seemed to drive good over the week end, although at a few points i thought i heard a slight scrape noise when passing something that'll reflect noise. this morning on the way to work the scape noise is more pronounced, sounds like a warped rotor with no break pad. at one point when stopping, i had very bad metal to metal sound from that wheel, but not the next time i breaked. somethings not right, and i don't know if i can trust this shop can ever get their f-up corrected.
