State the obvious, but at the speeds you're doing, everything must be balanced, and the bearings super smooth.
I take it you're going to balance the wheels - none are perfectly balanced and at >100mph ... !!!

What's the target speed now?

still 100mph the wheels are made out of aluminium and they are well balanced
 
It was just a thought.
I'm used to larger monster tyres on plastic and alloy wheels.
I was put onto this my RC Driver a year ago, and when I checked, every one of my wheels was out.
Better still if it's possible to balance in situ, actually mounted on the car. Might get you another couple of 10ths, or mph at the finish.
