Hi Don:

     In your reply, what part of the hub should be rounded on both edges - not
sharp ?

  If the 60's are not adequate for the loads why would the 48's be used in
  stock applications.  I used 48's on my 100-6 for years without any
  wobble and they were old as the hills.  I have since upgraded but 60's
  are more than adequate for racing as well.  Unless you really want to
  spend some $$$$ I would stay with the 60's and have them trued as
  another lister suggested and have the drum's/rotors balanced as well.
  As for the hubs check to see if they have a sharp edge to them, if both
  edges are rounded no need to replace hubs.

  Hello,

  I've asked this of a few of you already, but wonder what you
  collectively think about replacing 60 spoke wheels with 72's. I noted
  modest vibration and shake when driving my (new old) car home this past
  Sunday at 65-70 mph.
