Powder coated wheels, balanced but still shaking the wheel?
I finished my gf's wheels alittle while ago and had them powder coated. We had them balanced twice and they still shake the car and wheel so i think the powder coat paint on the hub surface isnt flat. Do you think that this may be the problem also? And how should i sand them down ? I was thinking of taking my flat palm sander and sanding till i hit the metal. What do you guys think?

i agree.. this has happened to me before as well.. everything balanced out good on the tire machine but after mounting them on the car they wobbled.... probably some crooked hub coat as mentioned ...good luck

Re: (ITR.#1446)
well i was lucky since the tires weren't on yet since i learned my lesson the first time around
i say razor blade is your friend if the tires are on
the shop did it for me for like $10 for all 4 but then they usually charge $5 each to have rims offsets raised which is the same method ..
