i think the shop is trying to make money.... u try to test drive the car a few days first.... see if ur steering vibrates or not.... usually if vibrates, it can be overcomed with on wheel balancing... if still fails, only think about the so-called adapter lor...

those adaptor thingy arent cheap though....

what is an adapter anyway??? I thought adapter is actually a cylinderical plate that allows adaptation of different pcd rims for different pcd hub......but never heard abt correcting balancing....

after installation the rim doesnt vibrate even at high speed thats y i think teh shops trying to make .... surely :) so i think if vibrates can be eliminated by doin on-wheel balancing ! yeah the price is about RM120 ...... not cheap !
