i got my new wheels on last night and have driven around on them for a couple hours already. while driving, i notice that the steering feels a little loose i guess u could say. like when i go to turn, the steeringwheel feels like its not as responsive as it used to be. seems like the car turns either a little to the right or a little to the left too, its not 100% straight. also. when braking the steeringwheel shakes a bit. would these be the cause of unbalanced wheels or maybe the weights need to be checked or maybe need to be realigned?? how much would it cost to have it done? i dont know the offset of the wheels, or anything about offset, can someone explain to me what it is? the wheels are 15" MB Motoring and the tires are 195/50/R15 kumhos.

thanks!

ps: the car does seem to handle better around turns and such. looks nice too but needs to be lowered. crappy quality pics but ill get some better ones in a lil while..

I would double check the pressure in each tire, making sure they're all where they need to be. If the problem persists, get them rebalanced.

 

pressures fine in all of em. i know the steering is gena feel a lil differnt since they are wider/larger wheels but im pretty sure its not supposed to act like that...

 

i just put my 17s on and the stearing response is amazing, but like you sead when im on the highway the steering seems to be a little loose, and it pulls a little to the left..but they were balanced already, i dunno...mabey ill check the pressure since they been sitting all winter

 

Maybe try getting the tires Re-balanced or get an alignment.

 

ya im gena get the rebalance sometime soon hopefully. i wana test these out on an autox course..
