Need help
so i have a 2002 civic.... i bought some rims for it and i put them on. the thing is that when i hit over 60mph my car starts shaking. I mean i did a aliment on my car. the mechanic that did it told me i need wheel spacers...... is that correct? maybe the wheel needs to be balanced? Please help!

Re: Need help
sounds like:
1. u need to re balance ur wheels
2. those "wheel spacers" he was referring to are called "hub centric rings"
here is a description of what they are/do http://www.1010tires.com/hubrings.asp
buy em on ebay is cheapest.
3. the last possibility are that ur rotors are not balance. then u need new rotors. (not as likely)

if u buy the right size (correct ID and OD of rings) AND you're wheels ARE BALANCED, then yes, the HCR will take care of the vib.
what kinda rims do u have? it also could be them as well.
