I would put money on the balance. Did they put weights on the barrel just inside the spokes AND weights on the lip? If not, you got a static balance, which will never be as good. I'd have them rebalanced before you start looking at hub rings. I have NEVER found hub rings to be necessary. As long as you use the right lug nuts for the wheels, and the correct mounting procedure, they should center up just fine.
also yes its just on the barrel near the spokes so my guess is improper balance but no time to take it back before my trip sadly...

Can't offer any technical insight as I don't have any but really like the blue methods. Perhaps some matching blue tailgate letters, hmm? ;)
haha prob not on the letters i feel that would be to much but i do plan to get a blue factor 55 winch block when ever i get my winch on lol

now if the letters were the same color then maybe but unsure if it would clash to much back there

If you can swing by at 0800, they should be able to knock it out quickly. Call them and set an appointment. Tell them you just had them done and they aren't right. They should be able to take care of it quickly. They can also install hub rings, if you decide.

ya thats my thought as well and tbh im gonna get the ball weights where its always balanced. you know where they put them into the tire? cant remember what its called lol

agreed ive never needed hub rings besides on cars with odd lug patterns but never on a truck so figured id ask
Have you had those weights before? I tried them once and they worked great until about 65 mph and then they bunched and caused a wicked heavy spot. Regular dynamic balancing, using wheel weights, do a really good job.

So here is a mix of everything from my trip to Michigan! I started the trip with high 4k miles and came back with a low of 6k miles on the truck now! The trip was a lot of fun but we hit a few snags with my buddy’s car messing up because the egr valve was about to fall off… my valve stem was damaged during install and started leaking in Michigan… and then my trailer started acting up on the way home… but overall loads of fun! You will see pics I took with my phone of random stops and also a car museum in Michigan which is massive! And also food from the stray dog an amazing restaurant in new buffalo! Then you will see all pics I took with my actual camera they are a bit obvious which ones are which haha

I grew up in Michigan and have a lot of family there, but have been in Arizona for about 35 years. Whenever I go back to my small town it always amazes me how green it is. There is a road near my old home that is like driving through a tree tunnel like in your photo. I used to walk it to school.

Ya! The tree tunnels are amazing! The thing I find odd is how nice the back roads always seem to be and then the highways are just trashed haha
