Question 18's cause vibration????

blitz guy told me that 18's with low profile usually vibrates and there is nothing wrong with that. is that true? i want to get his 18 but the vibration that he mentioned worries me.
18 = vibration?

wtf... NO! ANY WHEELS SHOULD NOT VIBRATE. yes its harder to balance 18s then 17s but its nothing a good shop cant do..
if it vibrates it could be..
1) hub rings werent used
2) rims are of round or bent
3) BALANCING. i had to take my car to the shop 5 times before it got balanced right. turns out the first shop wasnt doing it right. the machine thought it was balanced when it wasnt, it cause he put them on the wrong place of the wheel.

but ya any wheels should not vibrate. if it does, theres something wrong.

BIGGER RIMS, HAVE NO INNER WHEEL WHEEL LIP, WHICH IS USED TO BALANCE THE RIM+TIRE. I ALOT OF SHOP DO THE BALANCING WRONG BECAUSE THEY ARE SET TO OE SPEC FOR BALANCING NOT HIGH PERFROMANCE UPGRADED WHEELS+TIRES. NO THEY SHOULD NOT VIBRATE....A STIFFER RIDE YES.....TRY HUB CENTRIC RINGS & GET THE TIRES REBALANCED.....

Yeah 18's shouldn't vibrate, if they do get them rebalanced. I was worried my 17's would vibrate but I am really satisfied with them. Go Whalentire hehe

sometimes vibration is given off by the low quality road. But your car should not have a set speed where it begins to vibrate. If you, then it's your wheels. You should also feel it in your steering wheel, if there is any vibration caused by your rims.

I've got 18's with low profile.... I don't notice a vibration, just a little bumpier ride than the stock rims....

They sure are perdy tho.....

It's your tires. Some tires have more vibration than others.
