I have had 19x8 wheels for 6 months and every shop I have taken them to they can not balance them correctly... Should I take them to a WHEEL SHOP?

Take them to a firestone with hunter road force balancer. cost about $80 for lifetime balance.

I heard some1 saying that if it won't balance right it might be that the wheel is not a perfect circle, or round.

Right here. Or any shop that has Hunter Road force balancer. Insist on it. Here's how to locate a shop with Hunter balancer around your area http://www.gsp9700.com/pub/search/findgsp9700.cfm . Call around and ask if they have Hunter balancer so you don't waste time driving around. Firestone's life time balance is a good deal, if you could find a shop that's decent. Since they are independently owned, quality varies. The guy at the Firestone I go to spotted out my Serenity tires standing inside the office. I was floored. He sure knew what he was doing. I had a slight vibration with the new tires. After he was done, they are smooth like buttah ever since. The Firestones that I had used prior to this shop were pretty bad. So shop your tire shop carefully.
