All of our wheels certainly do.

I have the APEX Arc8 staggered setup 9.5 rear 8.5 front with the recommended offset for the 135i. Tire sizes are 225 up front and 255 rear. I had all the wheels re-balanced with road force. It fixed the problem significantly but shifted the vibration range to 55mph-65mph. Shaking now is like a 2/10 so a lot less but still there. I have a 3mm in front and 5mm in back. Removed the front spacers and it got better ever so slightly. New 4 pieces control arms installed up front as well. Everything torqued to spec, hubs cleaned. I have run out of ideas. It’s bearable but I like things to be like when I had my stock wheels. Maybe I’ll take the fronts back to americas tire for a 3rd rebalance. Not sure what it could be.
