Nice car CK! I bought the same 18 inch Sport Ed 4 set from Tire Rack last summer. I don't have the money for Michelin and went for Sumitomo. Tire Rack also balanced the set but I was getting vibrations at 70 to 80. The car runs great when I had my 17's with complete suspension upgrades. Turned out, the original Porsche metal tire valve caps that I took from the old set and put in the new ones. They screwed the weights. I had all 4 wheels forced balanced at a local Firestone shop with the metal caps. Runs perfect now.

I use the plastic porsche caps. The silver ones that cover the entire stem. I am surprised that 18's are so sensitive. I plan on getting an alignment too. I was planning on taking the car to STS as they have a hunter machine and computerized alignment machine. I was going to ask them for the following alignment specs

Front Camber: -0.7 degrees
Rear Camber: -1.6 degrees

Front Toe: 0.0
Rear Toe: 0.1
