Yea, they vibrate. I had them on my car today and drove it around. I'll have them checked out by a shop I guess

**********Final update


I just had them balanced and everything is finally smooth. Only sometimes there is tiny vibration going past 70mph, but it's not a big deal.

I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to do this for the sole purpose of just painting the lips. I would just sucker up and pay the $400 to powdercoat all four wheels; you'd save yourself a lot of time/headache doing it the proper way. Unfortunately I didn't really have a choice, but all in all everything is okay.

Next ~ Lime Green Calipers/Headlights/Tails/Coils!!!

Glad you got things smoothed out man. I was set on getting my lips painted before but your ordeal is making me think twice now.

You'd still have to take them apart if you wanted to powdercoat them right?

For me, it'd only be no big deal if I never, ever exceeded 70 MPH...

Surely, I'm not the only one with these high? standards...

As long as you're happy with it though...

Yea, but the shop does it and if they mess anything up it's their ***, not yours. Also, if you do get them powdercoated, MAKE sure they do not lose the nuts!!! (The back of the bolt part)

The shop beerme brought them to lost like 6 nuts and replaced them with junky nuts which makes it not able to tighten as well as the nuts provided with the bolt. So if you see a change in the nut, tell them to replace it with the original one.
