Default Are all hubcentric rings the same?.......................

I used the ones that Edge sent w/ the Fliks, but I think I'm getting a little vibration from the front drivers, not to the steering wheel, but noticeable. Sort of goes away after driving for a while.
anyone?

Default They should have fit very snug. It might help to take the wheel off and inspect it....

Also check to see if a wheel weight fell off.

Default those little thingys stuck to the inside of the wheel...used when balancing the wheel...

a lot of times you can see where one was once stuck and has fallen off, but in your case you may not see anything since the wheels are new (weights haven't been on there long and probably haven't left any witness marks).

Default I just found this from alldatadiy, which pulls data directly from the Bentley repair manual...

<b>Installing wheels </b>


To install a wheel, screw in all wheel bolts uniformly by hand.
Tighten wheel bolts, e.g. with a 4-way wheel wrench, to 30 Nm in diagonal sequence.
Lower vehicle to floor and tighten all wheel bolts in diagonal sequence to specified tightening torque. Tightening torque <b>120 Nm</b>
