The best thing you can do is get them road force balanced, is gona cost you a bit more, but is the right way to balance those wheels... there are a couple of treads on road force balance, let me know if you need more help.

Plastic chrome scratches as easily as a cheap pair of sunglasses.
many places for dirt to accumulate and throw off your balance.
did I mention that they're plastic chrome?


Find yourself a set of Overlander wheels, I believe they're aluminum.

I'm all set to go up the road tomorrow and buy a set of 2006 Commander chrome clad wheels (with tires) for my '05 GC. 325 for the whole set... now you've got me wondering if that's such a good deal after all.

Thanks,
Bob

They are pretty, and I've been unable to find the Overland wheels.
the price sounds good.
flip a coin.

do the '06's have the tire pressure monitors?
do the wheels you're looking at have them installed?

No Sensors in wheels, though I could switch mine out of my stock wheels. Hey, here's the CL Ad - see what you think. Thanks for the info too.
