Are these rims the same offset and width as the old ones? You can get a shimmy that will eventually go away caused by the tires now having a different wear pattern due to differences in wheel offset and width if they are different. A lot of people don't balance these because they are beadlocks, but should be attempted to balance for road use.
Both wheels 17x9 but the offset changed from 4.75 to 3.5. Going to take them back to the shop to have them double checked first chance i get.

The reason I didn't ever need to balance mine is because they were Nittos and nothing to do with the slabs. If I would have out on MTRs or BFGs they would have needed balancing. The slabs are an awesome wheel.
