I just had my new rims mounted and balanced, and when I left the tireshop, the car began to shimmy or vibrate slightly at 60 mph plus. Could it be a need for an alignment? Or could one of the rims be balanced incorrectly? It did not do this before I went to the shop with the stock rims/tires. please help, any advice is welcome.

 

Am going in first thing tomorrow to have a rebalance done. Thanks.

 

I talked to luke at the tire rack and he said to get the hub centric rings that should have come with the rims. That is what is causing the vibration. Got the today.

 

The problem was the crappy shop that mounted and balanced my setup. I went to a place suggested in the tire rack website, They had the diagnostic balancing machine, and they found all tires needed to be rebalanced, because the previous shop balanced them wrong. They checked alignment for free, they also found two of the directional tires were put on the car opposite of how they should have been. McGill's tire shop is first rate,(I found it on the Tire Rack suggested installers web page and I would like to thank luke and Dexter and the tire rack for such great advice, timely e-mail responses and the suggested installers site on the tire rack website. You guys rule!!!
