I would enjoy a light weight original looking spinner wheel. It's a shame those that come on the SPF and the replacement 17s are so heavy.

I have no vibration at any speed while driving with either 15 or 17 inch wheels. I've not gone over about 150 mph though.

I have seen assorted tire shops get balance wrong several times in a row. It just depends which guy you get on the balance machine and hope their machine is actually in calibration. They also bend the wheels while mounting the sturdy side wall tires one might autocross with. It cost me 4 brand new front 17 inch wheels to put on two front Yokohama AO32R tires and that was at three different tire shops.

I wouldn't doubt if some of the vibration people experience is because they have bent wheels.
