Hey guys so I purchased a set of oz futura from a seller here of stanceworks who I won't name but they have just been a nightmare, one wheel had a bent barrel, wheels had different hub sizes from each other, and the offsets were completely different than what he had told me. The issues I'm having with them is the following;I got the weld fix which is on the left front wheel, and I purchased hub centric rings to fix the issues with the hubs, when installing the wheels I put 15mm spacers with extended lugs in the rear. So I drove the car it has a vibration feels like it coming from the bent barrel yet the Lugs kept coming loose of the rear wheels. I have checked and the extended lugs are concial. Any idea of what could be the issue? Thanks

are the wheels you bought using oem used parts or new halves? sounds like it may be more than a bent barrel, might be the face itself
also, if you bought the correct spacers, you wouldnt need hub centric rings.... which could in itself be your issue. If your spacers arent hub centric, toss them in the trash as they are scrapsigpic

Go and get the wheel balanced again, and watch the face of the wheel when they spin it on the balancer. if the face itself looks like has a wobble when spinning, its the face. if the lip or barrel are wobbling, they just need to be straightened. if its the face, its going to be a more significant issue to remedy
Thats the most straightforward way without disassembling the wheel to tell where the issue is coming fromsigpic

As far as the wheel balancing im going to give it a shot again and see what happens.If the face is bent worst case scenario, how would i go about fixing them? thanks

I have one other question do you think it possible that the wheel lugs came loose due to vibration, the reason being i had drove for about 350 miles and the vibration on the highway was insane as you could feel it coming through the whole car at speed.Yet we attributed this based on a bent barrel in the front. Do you think it possible that this vibration loosed the wheel lugs after a long trip? thanksLast edited by e90lcinyc; 09-10-2015, 02:49 PM.

vibration while driving is most likely because of loose lugs that werent torqued properly to begin with..
which means fault is leaning just as much toward user error as it could be defective parts..
with all of this said, have the wheel checked and possible solutions can be discussed thereaftersigpic

Get a second opinion, from someone who has experience in building wheels(not just a tire shop).
120.65 vs 120 is rarely a cause for vibration.
