Strong vibration 80+mph
Strong vibration 80+mph
Hey,
I recently picked up a set of volk sf challenge 19" from a friend. Aside from some minor curb rash, the wheels are perfect. Anyways, while driving to work today the car started to vibrate at around 80mph. I did search the forums, but all I can find are posts about hubcentric rings, I already have a set of these installed, however they are from a G35coupe. Would the fact that the hubcentric ring are from a G35coupe, cause this vibration? Would I need an alignment, (last alignment was done a few months back)? Or is this normal? Well, I was told of some vibration, but did not expect it to be so strong. It felt like i was sitting in a massage vibrating chair, and my mirrors were also vibrating as if I had a huge sub in the back. Has anyone had a similar issue? if so, how'd you go about it?
Don't know if this matters but the car is a 2005 35th anniv. 6mt. My stock wheels were smooth as silk, exaggeration, but much smoother than these.
Thanks,

Have your tires rebalanced. I put on some Volk GT-7s and experienced vibration at high speeds. Turns out the mechanic didn't do a good job on balancing my tires. Check them out...
Tire Balancing problem.
Go to a good shop with top end equipment. Or see if you can find a Hunter Road Force balance, it will do the trick, if not tell you that one of the tires or wheels will not balance due to damage or defect.

There is a locater on that site as well.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments, and will go ahead and get the wheels balanced. I honestly thought I'd get flamed for my question, because I actually thought about wheel balancing after I hit "submit."
