It's as smooth as butter every speed below 50mph, only starts to vibrate above it. EDIT: video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh5Ql_s1chE

... my issue is 100% balancing, On my old laguna's, their wheels were very soft and prone to bending, perhaps you have a wheel out of balance?

It definitely feels like a balancing issue to me. 2 different garages claimed to have fixed the buckles I had but I wonder if they can ever actually truly get them 100% round again though. The tech said he looked at them himself again and the computer showed them as being completely round and balanced, it's just weird. I'm looking for someone with a spare set of wheels now that I can do a complete swap with for 5 minutes, go for a drive and confirm if it is in fact the wheels or not, as I can't think of much else it could be without throwing large amounts of money at parts that don't need replacing.

I was going to suggest swapping fronts and rears but if you can try a full set that would be better - if they are OK, of course!

I see you're in Southampton. I'm in Netley, is that an offer of your wheels? Lol
