Shaking Wheels and Rotten/Pealing rubber trim - Any local shops in So FL?

Hi there! Just bought some 18x8 wheels and tires at a local shop (including balancing) and the wheels have been shaking bad once I reach 60-80mph!

Went back to where I bought them and they put plastic hub rings and it worked for sometime but now my wheels are shaking again! (Although a little less than before) so I ordered aluminum rings from Outmotorsport.

I need a MINI-Dedicated shop to take my car so they can tell me the best solution to this dilema!

I also want to have installed a new windshield cowl and the rear molding rubber trim that is rotten/pealing!!! (I own a 2009 mini convertible)

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Can't recommend a shop, but I have gone through that with wheels before. They need to be re-balanced and I'd search for someone that does road-force balancing. Ask what speed they will balance to since some will only go to about 65 mph and then you have issues when you drive faster.
