It'll be your rims. What rims are they and how well do they fit the hub?

Tire / wheel assembly is out of balance
No hub centric rings on aftermarket wheels
Incorrect mounting hardware for aftermarket wheels
Tire is poorly seated on the rim
Irregular tire wear
Out of round rim
Out of round tire

19-12-08, 12:17 GMT+10#26 The rims have been on the car since i brought it , runs 225/50/16s all round. Used to have ****ed shocks and compressed springs , and it was perfect.
Had new springs and shocks installed and since then the sterring wheel vibrates or shakes between 95 to 105 etc. had wheel alignment done and wheels swapped front to back and blanced , lil better but still does it. Could it be the weights on the wheels at all ??

19-12-08, 13:21 GMT+10#27 Pull off your front rims and see if they have hup locator rings. Plastic rings wear over time so it could be that... or it might not have any at all
Not saying your rims are cheap, but cheap rims never seem to balance up properly from my experience... they must be soft and get out of round easily

Ahaha, his rims are cheap, and I can say that 'cause I have the same (but 17"). Oh and Matt, after you mentioned that before we left for the dyno in Hamilton, I noticed mine does shake a little! I just never noticed 'cause I don't know any different

19-12-08, 18:36 GMT+10#30 Yeah new wheels would be good, but with the rest of my car as it is it's not worth getting real nice rims, but it's something I don't want to half do.. might get new rims when I need tyres.
