Looks like I'm not alone.  I just put my new (to me) stock wheels on the Six
(I'm on both lists...) and now I have a horrible vibration, like a quadruple
D-cell sex toy gone berzerker, at anything above 40MPH and it's not engine
speed dependent.  Swear to God, it's not a vibration, it's a buzz.  Like
Eric, I just didn't have the umpff to check it out when I got home.  Tire
pressures are correct and the wheels are straight.  Same tires even.  Any
ideas?
