UPDATE and some more good news, Cricks will put in $180 per wheel for some new ones through JAX. That will go a long way to get something, might be the cheap end of the scale but as long as they don't vibrate at 110 I'll be happy. I can save up to get something better down the track.

New wheels, CSA Strada 18x7.5" JAX price is $215 each to pretty cheap but they look good and for the short test drive (in driving rain) I was able to get to 110 for a short time with no vibrations.

Seriously if Cricks had chucked some other wheels on the car when they had it for 4 days before Christmas they could have saved a lot of time and money just getting the wheels but at least now I have 4 new wheels and tires for just $140.

Glad to hear that the issue is now resolved.

It amazes me sometimes that service centers do not approach troubleshooting methodically and logically.
I wonder how much time they actually spent working on the vehicle.
could have saved them a fortune.

If that car was on the hoist for 4 days, then that's 4 days of that hoist not making money. so its either mismanagement or incompetence.
If they keep making mistakes like this in the future I'm sure they will go under.

Don't say that, or my 6 year warranty will be worth nothing ;)
