Best tire balance shop in Northern NJ/Tri State area?

[TRAINER]

I’m looking for recommendations on the best place to get tires balanced in the Tri-State Area, preferably Northern New Jersey; cost is not a concern at this point. Where do Ferrari’s go? I need “real” high speed balancing. I tried a shop with the Hunter Road Force machine and still no luck.
I just picked up new rims and snows. The rims I picked up from Warren at Detail King (great guy, great price, very helpful) and tires from my local tire shop (Pirelli Ice/Snow). Three attempts later and I still have vibration above 60. I’m thinking there might be something wrong with one of the tires. This is turning into a nightmare!
Thanks in advance.

Try Sander Performance Group

They are not a traditional workshop since they sell mostly new stuff but call and make an appointment.

Yes I have used them to mount low profile 19's.

Not sure but they are nice people. If you have a rim or tire problem they will show you right on the screen.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I had 20's on my last X5 and to be honest, i never had any luck with balancing outside BMW dealer. THey have the correct machine for these wheels and they were the only shop to fix the vibrations, shimmy in the wheel.

Strange, I've never, ever heard of a tire and wheel successfully being road forced and still have an imbalance.... are you sure the shop actually did a road force/ force match? How many pounds of imbalance did each rim have when they finished? Did you get a print out or report? Or just "do it" and you drove off?

Road force can be a pita- I had a brand new set of HREs ($5000) and brand new PS2s, and it took 2 tries for each or the rears, one for the front, and the other front the tire was bad (tirerack sent a new tire). Spec was under 20lbs

it is not the 'speed' of the balance. It is the balance AND the compliance of the tire that does the trick

I was always using American Tire in Bound Brook NJ (rt 22E). Never had a problem with them - for both BMW and non-BMW cars.
