Default 1997 Range Rover still shaking

My 1997 range rover has been shaking and wobbling. I changed the drag link and track bar and all the ends. The wobbling has stopped but the car still shakes around 45 mph but once I get passed 50 it completely stops.
Any ideas what could cause this?

Should I get them balanced? Or just new rims and tires?

it a lot cheaper to have the balance check than replacing tires and rims, plus if they are in balance think of the money you will have waisted on tires and rims.

Pics of the rims? You might need hub centric rings.

Then it's what the lucky8 guy said. Your wheels aren't centered because the L322 RR hubs were bigger. You need little adapters that fit into the bigger bore of your new wheels so that they are the same size as the old wheels. Something like this: http://www.lawheel.com/store/accesso...-set-of-4.html But that seems expensive.
