Default Door Hinge-mount mirrors?

Warm weather has me excited for doors-off, but I'd like to get some mirrors that mount in the door hinges, rather than mess with relocation brackets. Thoughts on any of these?

I had a set of the Olympic mirrors. Used them only twice until I discovered the very common complaints I'd heard with these mirrors. They shake crazy. Any bump, or speed over 25, they shake so much they're rendered useless. My

X's 2 on vibrating like crazy. They become useless.

I picked up a small set of mirrors from Pep Boys for $6/set. They vibrate LESS than the $60/set. Come to think of it, they actually don't vibrate at all.

If you're open to suggestions and/or recommendations, for the past 3 years, I've been using these mirror mounts by Ditech.

They use your mirrors which mount on these. They use your door hinge and one bolt from the hinge bracket. Simple install and shake free

I've heard of guys using mirrors off of Harleys in their door hinge. Might want to check that out.

20 bucks at pep boys. Well 9 bucks each and hardware "bolts that long enough and small enough to go through the hinge and some washers. Done!
