1st thing I'd do is go to a tyre fitter and see if he can put it on the balancing machine and spin it. There appears to be a large 'chip' in the rim from kerbing damage, and I wonder if that has buckled the wheel? If all ok then I assume you have a set of them? Personally I'd keep the black BBS wheels already on the red car.

Well, personally I'd be fitting one set with Yoko Advan (dry cut slicks) and the other with Toyo Proxies (wet track tyres)…………

They're Rivage wheels, aren't they? In which case they're probably 15"?

Yeah woundn't go any less than 800 i dont go less than 1200 then work with some brasso the wading is best till they go black with alluminium oxide then a nice clean rag or polishing mop and everyone is a winner  :D  hard work but effect are sweet will worn you though its a once a week job to keep untreated ally shiney you can lacquer then after but the lacquer has no key so easilly peels also dulls the ally slighty for best result keep on top of he polishing and take em off in winter  :D
