The 20's are not balanced correctly or you have a bent rim. If the rim is bent they should have of course found this when balancing. Either way the balance is off on the 20's - go back to the same shop or go somewhere else and have them check it.

Are you're rims hubcentric (do they fit tight on the center of the hub) if not the wheel will wobble like crazy and shake you're teeth out. If not get hubcentric rings.

I have the same problem, but my wobble is VERY slight. I usually feel it only at lower speeds. I tend to think that it is attributed to the road and bumps in the road. I have the same size 20' rims on my X5. I also feel like it is not a constat thing, but happens occasionally......

I have never had my wheels balanced. Do you think I should??

Ding Ding Ding. Your Replicas are slightly bent. This is a common problem with replica wheels.
