Default 88 A4 2.8 quattro vibration at 55 mph

I recently picked up an Avant Quattro with 38k on the odometer. There is a shake (feels like tires) at and above 55 mph. The tires were rebalanced a week ago and seemed okay for about two days, now it's back. Any ideas? Are these hubcentric wheels or do they require a special lug centering adaptor to balance them. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

1988 A4 with only 38k? You better pull a carfax on that car, see if there is a roll back or rebuilt engine....

Oops. I meant 98. I have an 88 bmw 325is and I'm used to typing that year.

Default Ice, grease and small rocks get locked onto the inside of the wheel, gota clean them.Weights pop off

in the snow. Check your wheels, power wash them and re-balance.
