mark the tire with a marker relative to the rim. sometimes the rubber turns on the wheel so that it WAS balanced, then it goes off.

When the aftermarkets were originally put on the tire shop did not roadforce them, it was only later. I have 6k miles on them and when they balanced them last week the rears were off 37 lbs on one side and 51lbs on the other, absolutly horrible ride.. I hope it isnt the wheels, I'm putting new tires on it tomorrow. The dealer says the tires are bad. the machine measured them and all the rims show marginal, which the dealer said is normal on aftermarkets but it also said the tires were out completely.

UPDATE: I just put new tires on the Iforged wheels and every one of the wheels have runout..They were all roadforced. The dealer says the wheels are causing my vibration. I am putting the new tires on the stock wheels today and will be sending the wheels back to I forged to see if they can fix the problem. Ive only had them for about a month and Ive had to balance them 6 times!! This is getting way too expensive for just a set of wheels, which were very expensive to begin with.

Yeah--I really wanted a set of Iforged swifts and almost pulled the trigger. But too many vendors have been concerned regarding Iforged's quality lately and would not reccomend them. Its a shame, since I like their look over many other wheel choices.
When you get the chance to I would maybe flip the wheels with a disclaimer and or try and see if they will credit your money back.
Sorry for all your luck, I hope that this last boubt of problems will be your last. I have had similar things go wrong in the past regarding modifications and it really start to effect the way you generally feel about your car.
Good luck and God Speed.

Anything more than 22 lbs is considered out of round. The tires are bad.

Unfortunately it seems we have seen quite a few out-of-round 19" PS2's lately. They may have been bad right out of the gate.

Michelin makes an excellent product and we sell a lot of Michelin tires. We use the Hunter Road Force balancer and very rarely have any out of round or excessive weight issues.
