Not sure, that was my first guess. But now it isnt doing it as much it seems. So maybe it is the tire balance that is doing it and the loose strut bolt multiplied it.

Not the wheels, i put coilovers on and dropped the car a pretty decent amount so my alignment is effed. What i meant though is that with the new wheels I am going to get them fitted, fenders rolled, aligned, etc. so I meant I was going to get one just for now, and get one again when i get my wheels fitted. And yeah they couldn't mount my 205's on a 9.5" rim so i went to a BMW shop and they did it in 10 minutes and it was a couple bucks cheaper so i found a new shop.

Also, even if it has nothing to do with the problem you're experiencing, it's my understanding that when lowering the car and playing with the suspension, you should always have it aligned after, anyway so it would be a good idea to get this done even if you find out the vibration is coming from something else!
Yeah lugs are easy so ill check them. Luckily its not shaking as much after tightening down my rear lower strut nut. But I deff need an alignment, I was scared driving on 95 to get my wheels because it was sketchy. I just wanted to get my porsches on so i can do that whole wheel fitment thing at once.
