Wheel Center Rings

Just bought a set of new aftermarket 15 inch rims with 205x60xR15 Tires. After instalation there is a slight steering wheel shake over 95km\ph. The wheels have been balanced twice. The guy in the shop says I need wheel centers.

Will this solve my slight steering wheel shake problem with these aftermarket rims?

It should solve the vibration, since the the hub-centric ring will make a factory fit to the center part of the rotor area. Don't know what that is called though. But that's what they are designed to do for aftermarket rims.

Or it might be something else with your suspension. Try it out first and see if it solves the problem.

OK, Just got the wheel center rings fitted. It took only 30 mins. There is no steering shake at all now at high speed.
