How do I know for sure?? Can I take them somewhere to determine for sure??

Try balancing them WITHOUT the tires mounted.

Wow this looks like its going to be a royal pain in the rear since I already have the rims and tires mounted on the X5. So I would have to first unmount the tires and then have each rim balanced?? I suppose I could go to any decent tire shop, correct?

I should not have purchased replicas.............

Yes, you should go to a decent tire shop. Just do one wheel. Based on those results you should be able to predict the behavior of the other 3.

Good luck.

thanks I appreciate the help. Its funny, I asked my wife if she has ever noticed the steering wheel shake slighly at low speeds and she said no....I guess this seems to be a intermitent problem....

Thanks again
