Did you try the stockers or aftermarket. I have read that some aftermarket wheels need hub centric rings. I use the rings and have zero problems.

yea, these are now stock, my other wheels had hub rings though and still had the problem so i changed them (wheels) out thinking they were possibly out of balance

Any other vibration at any other speed would warrant further diag. But steering wheel vibration at 70+... Wheels need to be balanced. End of discussion.

Swapping will do nothing if you haven't tried to get em' rebalanced.

you are correct my friend. I didn't think that would be it considering i changed out wheels. today i took the wheels to get road forced balanced and the front was off 5oz haha! I appreciate all the responses!
