They should only require them if the hub diameter and hole in the wheels diameter are different. They match the two. If the rims were originally for the car they should not need them.

 

Sounds like a bent rim

 

Have a friend drive behind you and see if a wheel is bent.

 

The TRD rims are a direct swap and don’t need hub centric rings

Are the tires new or used? If used, perhaps a tire is causing the vibration

Thank you all for your input.
The tires that are on the rims are brand new Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's.
I'll have someone else check for a bent rim and re-check the balancing but could it possibly be the lug nuts (Black Pvd-Pack of 6 - Toyota (PT076-60200-02)) ??

 

Might be the tires. I would get a warranty exchange on the tires. I got Michelin Primacy MXM4 from costco and after a week i started feeling vibrations while driving and braking. I rotated the front tires to the back and the vibrations started happening in the rear. So, I went back to costco and did a warranty exchange on the back tires. No more vibrations.

Have them put on new tires and check if the vibrations are still there.

 

Not all tire shops have balancers that are capable of Road Force Tire Balance.

 

I would try loosening the lug nuts and retorquing them to factory specs.

 

I bought TRD rims for my 2020 Camry XSE V6.

Why?

 

If the lug nuts are installed properly and over tighten, the wheel may not site properly and cause the vibration you are feeling.

 

Are you using Toyota mag-seat style lug nuts with the built-in washers?

 

As I noted earlier, the lug nuts are (Black Pvd-Pack of 6 - Toyota (PT076-60200-02). I got these after the general consensus here on the forum said these are the TRD lug nuts. Yes, I believe they are mag-seat with built in washers.
Does anyone know if Toyota puts hub-centric rings on the TRD Camry for those wheels?? Is there a part number? I'm still researching.
Thanks to all.

 

Again no. Hub rings are for aftermarket wheels. If you got all the correct hardware from the seller, ie the lugs, and they aren't replicas, you should not have any issues. You either have an out of round tire which is seriously doubtful, or like has been said before it's a bent rim, which is totally believable. Either scenario the wheel will still balance unless, again as mentioned, you balance it on the vehicle, which is hard to find shops that have those machines anymore(still the best way to balance though). Take whatever corner is giving you the vibration and swap locations see if the vibration follows.

 

Thank you "Vegas". I will check for the bent rim.
The vibration is uniform throughout the car ( not in the steering wheel, not in the brake pedal but in the seat. You feel it through your body. It starts at around 35-40mph. That's when you notice it. It does not get much stronger as you get up to 80mph. But it's "Very There". You just know something isn't right.

 

How much tread is left on tires?

 

They're brand new Michelin Pilot Alpin snow tires.

 

Are those the tires you bought the wheels with or did you put them on afterwards?

 

I bought the wheels and tires at the same time.

 

Something doesn't make sense. I have a hard time believing a brand new set of wheels have all four bent. If there were used I could see two of them being bent, but all four is rare. Do you have an American or Discount Tire by you that you do business with usually? Where did you get the rims and tires from?

 

Yeah, I know- right ?! YES- Exactly! I DID have American Tire & Auto do the work. Had Tire Rack ship the Michelins directly to them.
I bought the rims, lug nuts, center caps directly from Toyota.

 

Aha there's the problem right there. You didn't get TRD rims from Tirerack that I'm aware of. You would have had to get them from a dealership or someone who had them on their TRD Camry. So yes you would need hub rings. Contact Tirerack.

 

Ok, just re-checked TireRack.... they don't sell factory TRD wheels. I bought them from Toyota that shipped them to a local Toyota dealer. I will check with that dealer to see if they know about hub rings being needed.

 

Oh so just the tire came from Tirerack?

 

Right. Just the tires. The TRD wheels came from Toyota.
