I just bought a new wheel/tire package and I'm getting mad shimmy/wobble when I hit 90 -100k/h. I had the wheels balanced, bought hubcentric rings and got an alignment. I might end up going back to make sure the balancing was done properly but **** it's gotta be hard to mess up zeroing out some wheels. Any suggestions?

How old are your struts?

alot of places cant properly balance wheels. and alot of aftermarket rims can never balance out perfectly. ive had some people suggest find a tire shop that can road-force balance the tires, thats the best way to do it. i have the same problem, only i know its the konig rims i bought. the oem ones were perfectly stable, and all i did was switch rims and use the same tires. ive had it balanced at several places and sears got it pretty good, but at higher speeds it still shakes the steering wheel. i have a feeling the rim just wasnt made perfectly round.

make sure ur rings are the correct size. most shops will just put the rings that fit the ID....but the OD doesnt always fit.

rings dont matter for our cars. ive run with and without them, i decided to keep em just for fun but either way it did not affect vibration at all.

Got em balanced again and the ride got better but still has slight shimmy at highway speeds. I tried new rings aswell but they made no difference. Out of idea's, but she rides better now anyway

they do! my slipstreams shook my steering at 60+mph but after i had the rings put on, no more vib. (and yes i had a fresh alignment)

interesting. im trying to see how, since it appears our hub is lug-centric. i have the rings, they are tight, and i still get vibes. and i know its the aftermarket rims to blame cause stock alloys didnt do it.
