ever since i got my 17's my wheel has been shaking when i hit over 65, its not so horrible i cant stand it and its only on certain roads. i had the alignment fixed once but do you guys think its becuz i have low profile tires ?

Rep Power: 0 yeah! i just got new 17" rims and lo profile tires and the same thing happens to me 
it sux man! it's fine at lower speeds but then around 50 - 60 mph the steering wheel starts shaking like crazy! but when i hit around 100 mph it dies down and the wheel is calm and normal again. its wierd[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] i bought it to Tires Plus for a vibration correction special for $20 where they rotated the tires, balanced all 4 wheels and checked the alignment. and even after that the freakin (steering) wheel still shakes. they said it was cuz i have after market wheels and thats how its gonna be

Rep Power: 0 You are getting taken to the cleaners. Your tires and wheels need balanced. Also, check to make sure that if you have directional tread that they are rotating in the correct direction.
