help...

There is alot of vibration/\"dub dub dub\" sound coming from the rear wheel when rolling/slow down off gas...15\"+stiff semis

I replaced the wheel with 14\"+soft street tyres, and it seems alot better... but i think there still is a bit of vibration. or its just my imagination (??)

Anyways, i think i have an egg shaped wheel..
Q1: Where can i fix this in sydney?cost?time?
Q2: Can i cause any damage to eg. Diff? suspension? i want to go track.

thanks in advance

I wouldn't know how to fix it, but I'd first make sure it is the wheel by moving it to another point on the car and seeing if the sound follows it.

Wheels can be re-rolled round again, I think the cost is about $120 per wheel tho. Try Neale Wheels.
