Dale Jr Replica Rims Mounted
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey everyone, it's taken me a while but here is a pic of my Intimidator with the Dale Jr replica rims I purchased from OE Wheels in FL. I don't suggest them. My babe now has a vibration since they been installed. Had it checked 3 times and nothing mechanical wrong with car. For those who helped you may remember I had a stock chrome rim with the plating coming off in the interior of the rim causing an air leak. That was the only wheel that had the problem. I'll be looking into getting the stock chrome repaired and maybe remounting next year. I added the Tony Stewart grille insert too. This is the GM one I got from GM Parts Direct. Thanks again for all your help.

have you had the balance checked on your tires?

COPY CAT!! lol looks great though, and they could just be not balanced right...

I had the balance checked twice at the tire dealer that mounted them. It was off the first time I had them check it. Went to a different dealer and they did another thorough check and didn't find anything, but maybe I'll have the balance checked again at a different garage.

Enzo, are your rims the Jr replicas or the GM's?

What kind of tires did you wrap around? Are they doing the right kind of balancing?

If you rotate the tires and balance them, does the vibration follow the wheels or stay in the same spots?

Looks great, both the wheels and grille!

Sucks about the vibration, did it get better after the shop fixed the balance the first time? Or was it the same?
