I just put on 17's with 205/45's Hankook Ventus (package deal) They claimed mounted and "balanced"....Right!!! My steering wheel shakes out of my hand only between 45 & up...So I took them to get balenced on the Road Force maching @ Goodyear..I guess it acts like the car is on the road or something..anyway they added and moved weights around.......100 bucks later....No difference. WTF? It makes me so mad I could sell the wheels...Please help with posible fix. Am I the only one?

PS: I have center rings on the new wheels

Let me guess, you ordered from wheelmax? I just got my wheels with the same tires. My problem isnt as bad as yours. My car pulls to the right a lot and the the new rubber hums. And yes i made sure the rotation was the right way. Anyhow I was also contemplating on getting them balanced locally to see if that was the problem. Wheelmax claims they used a computerized system to accurately balance the wheels so I wasn't sure if getting them balanced again would do anything. Maybe its just the tires? Let me know if you find out anything.

does this only happen when u guys have the aftermarket wheels on? does it go back to normal after u put the stock wheels back on?


it could more likely be a crap mount and balance job and/or alignment issue. gotta keep in mind after lowering/raising/alternating tire size, it can affect your alignment meaning your car would lean or act stupid

I havent tried putting the stock wheels back on, but my car was fine before I put the new ones on. So you would recommend getting an alignment with new wheels? FYI I went from stock 15" to a 17"

is your car dropped? when i lowered my car, my car would lean to the left or the right and still goes. i never got to an alginment because it didnt eat up my tires and im fine with it. idk how hazardous it could be, but i plan to swap coilovers pretty seen anyways.

whats your suspension set up like?
i wouldnt go an alignment quite yet until figure out what exactly the problem is. msot likely, if you bought the wheels that came with free mounting and balancing, theres a reason why it was "free". i would bring the wheels to a professional tire/wheel shop and have them REmount and balance it. my best guess is it'd cost $20 per wheel? idk how much shops charge for it.

you dont have to get an alignment with new wheels, they recommend it so your tires wont wear but if you had one recently you dont need one.

Yeah...I agree with being the tires..I put the stock back on and had no problems. It just makes me so mad! I guess I'll try to have them re-mounted to see what that does.

What speed do you guys notice the shake?? Mine is like 45mph and up

Please advise
