what's up guys... I am in search of some advise... within the last month I purchased 2 sets of wheels redone style 5's from eBay and a redone set of OZ Vegas from this site. I spent over 2k on each set not including the new tires tires. the issue that I am having is that both sets of wheels are warped... idk where to get them fixed or what to do... It would be kind of screwed up to push them forward and screw over the next person.. I live in NY (long island)any recommendations as to where I can get these sets repaired ... after 60 mph the vibration is insane on both sets.. im super frustrated about this crap... thanks in advance.

Other than vibration while driving, how do you know they are warped? Did someone check them for runout?
If no, take the suspected wheel to a shop, dismount the tire and have it checked. Report back if its out of round or bent.

Where did you get the wheels balanced? Ive seen sets that were balanced upside down (exact opposite spot from where the wheel weights should be) before so it could be a lot of different things. given that its two sets doing the same thing, that sounds like your first spot to look into because its doubtful you bought two sets of wheels with the same issue..
cheap wheel balancing is usually being done by someone with limited knowledge of what they are actually doing in most cases. Happens all the time unfortunately.
If its not that, i would have the tire taken off and checked for runout or bends.sigpic
