Well I havent been over 50 yet but earlier before I got started the wheel was shimmying beginning at 30mph.

I pulled the passenger side wheel and spacer and installed a friends G35 wheel and took it for a drive. Didnt notice much shimmy at all so I inspected the spacer and found a tiny amount of "lip", just enough to feel with my finger, around the bolt holes where the wheel would be resting, perhaps manufacturing flaws. I sanded those down, reinstalled the spacer and then threw the G35 wheel on both fronts and found no shimmy up to 50.

From there I put the passenger wheel back on and left the g35 wheel on the driver side and took it for a spin to eliminate the possibility of it being the passenger wheel. All drove fine.

Lastly, I installed both of my k3 projekt wheels and took it for a drive up to 50-55... no noticeable shimmy.

Hopefully it was the tiny amount of burr or lip around the holes and where the wheel rested against causing the shimmy. I dont see how something so small such as burrs around the holes on the slip on spacer and mounting surface could cause it so I'm not very optimistic about this being completely cured. I'll know tomorrow once I get it out on the highway.

What a pain in the butt.
