Then most recently I scored a deal on Craigslist on some 22" DUB Baller S216's...however im having trouble getting 2 of them to balance, up around 65+ MPH my steering wheel has a little shake in it that wasn't there with the factory GM 22" wheels...I just had Discount Tire rebalance them for me so hopefully this fixes the issue as I love the look of the 5 Spokes...
