Depending on where in CT you are, Westchester Wheel Repair in Verplank (near Indian Point) does a really nice job on straightening wheels. State of the art equipment too.

I agree with Tony but leave the tires on and spin them assembled first. If there is an out of round, or bulged sidewall on a tire, it will be the first place to start. It's possible one of the wheels wasn't balanced properly and be corrected at that time too.

Bent wheels will be evident with tires on too, but a bit less obvious. If a wheel is suspected of being bent, the spin balancer operator can use the depth gauge against the wheel and rotate by hand to watch how much the gauge moves side to side.

Been balanced 3 times . All looked good on the balance machine
Borrowed friends tires/wheels vibration gone ,
Now have to find bad wheel or bad new tires

OK, getting somewhere now...did you drive this vehicle with the same wheels but different tires before getting new ones ? If so, was the vibration present then ?

Good luck. Bump.

next step is swap a wheel at a time and then determine wheels or tire
