Dealer just installed four new wheels (rims) and tires, but I still feel some vibration; once at lower speed and again and continuing at higher speed. It’s weird, but sometimes I don’t feel it at all and sometimes it’s there (but minor).

The wheels were supposed to be new, but I feel the color is a very minor shade different from before (as minor as can be).

Is there any way to tell if my wheels were not replaced and were repaired / refinished instead? If not repaired / refinished, I suppose the color difference is a slight manufacturing variation?

And, aside from putting the car on a lift, is there any way to tell from the symptoms whether the vibration is bad balancing or if a wheel is still bent? Bringing the car back to the dealer this week, but would like insight.

Thank you very much.
