does anybody have this problem? I put the rims on my car and the steering wheel shakes alot. With the stock tires it doesnt shake nearly as much. should i get an alignment possibly or what could be causing this?

 

alignment!!!! Should do the job right up for you

 

The wheels may not be balanced correctly.

 

The wheels aren't balanced right.........

When i bought new 17 inch rims.. I had the same problem... I had the wheels balanced three times, each from a different shop and it still happened at speeds over 70 mph.....

So i came to the conclusion that

a. It was the rims who were messed up
b. the cheap kumho tires were the problem

Either way, it sucked and I was sick of the vibrations, plus my MPG dropped about 5mpg's on average.. instead of 30-32.. i was getting 23-26 on average.... I put stocks back on and now I'm happy... Now i have these espensive Konigs sitting in storage...

 

REcheck your lugs also. Mine does that now and I bought some hub rings. They were $10 from ebay. Once I get those on I will move to the next possible sloution if it doesnt get any better.
