what else could it be??

Tire Pressure? (Although they would/should do that when balancing)

Is it just at 60mph?

Does it go away if you speed up or does it get worse?

Are the centres balanced on the hub, spigot rings needed?

it happens on 60mph when I'm on 75mps its fine.

theres no spigots rings on the alloys are they needed????

Spigot rings stop wheel wobble because they locate the centre of the alloy onto the hub. So there's your answer!

That doesn't mean he needs them! He might have the correct center bore.

Are all the nuts tightened properly?

You've got the wheels! You tell us! :lol:

Why are you so convinced you need spigot rings? What wheels are they?
