I've got a set of Borbet Type R wheels. When i put them on the tire machine to balance them they were pretty out. I got them to balanced, but i noticed a small warp in a few of the wheels. I also want to note that i'm using some pretty low quality spacers with hubcentric rings. Anyway, the vibration comes and goes, strogest around 55 and 75+ Didn't know if it was a result of the bent wheels (which aren't that bad), the crappy spacers, or a combiation of both? Any idea what it would cost to get the wheels straightened?

Probably not cheap. If you can SEE the bend - best not to be using them. That, or at least put them on back.
If you have a really bad bent rim up front, it can vibrate enough to possibly jostle bolts loose.
I'd find a set of cheap bottlecaps, put them on, and have all your rims looked at. Some place should be able to get ya free estimates for sure.- Sean Hayes -
If you have directional tires and they are rotating the opposite way you will have vibration.
Most likely bent rims.
