Need Some Help...
I need some help with Borrowing a set of Wheels with Tires...Wheels must be Balanced, 5x100 and must be able to clear Brembos.
Reason I need them- I am trying to see if the problems I am having with my car is due to my Tires. I don't want to just buy tires and that not be the problem. So if I borrow someones wheels and roll on those and the problem goes away then it's my Tires.
Problem I am having is some Vibration in my Steering Wheel. It's really Random sometimes it Vibrates sometimes it doesn't.
My Collateral will be my rims. When I borrow your rims I will leave my rims. When I return your rims, you will return my rims.
Thank you

does it only happen at certain speeds or only while braking? if it's the tires it should happen all that time above a certain speed. if it's only when you brake then check your rotors. if it's kinds random then perhaps a control arm bushing. GL

Both control arm bushings are whiteline and pretty much brand new.
I recently changed my Ball joints and my tie-rods with Whiteline RCA.
I really thought it was my Ball Joints. But the vibration is still there. However I will take a look at my bushings when I look under my car.
BTW, I got an alignment after installing the RCA Kit.
I really want to get to the bottom of this problem. After I get this settled on to the brakes. Turn my Rotors, buy need pads and bleed the system. Then all my steering wheel issues will be done.
Then maybe I can sell it after the tune... Wink Wink!

Been thinking about upgrading to an STI for awhile. But I really don't want to start for scratch again. It's still up in the air right now.
About the wheels, I think there is about 10 online on them.
So I might just throw them on the forester so I don't have to sell them if I get a STI. Lol
