TLon18's

I have a TL-S and i just put some chrome 18's on it like 2 months ago..........everything was pretty much the same...........my car didnt shake for at all.......it was like i had my stock rims on...........but now when i drive above 60mph my steering wheel shakes like crazy!!! Also, when i brake my car pulls in every direction. Also, my car pulls to the left on a striaght away. I wanted to know if this is regular problems or do i need to get some type of upgrades? Do i need brake pads, an alignment, or something else?

It could be a number of things...

First: Check the air presure in the tires...a significant difference could cause the pull on straightaways.

Second: The vibrations...If your rim lost a weight it would cause the vibrations. Get the wheels high speed balanced again.

Third: Get the brakes checked for warping...it's not likely but it could cause the pulling under braking if the rotors are "catching" at different points.

You might also make sure your lug nuts are tight. Sounds silly....but when you change out rims, the lugs will many times work themselves loose. Just another thought.....

Good point, whenever I take a rim off the car and remount, I re-torque at 25 miles, 75 miles and 150 miles.

Don't forget to get the alignment if the problem doesn't solved.

Shaking above 60 is probably alignment related. Been there, done that. Espcially if you are pulling to one side when driving on a straight, even surface.

However, I would start with re-torqueing lugs, check tire pressure, then have alignment and tire balancing checked out at a shop.

One of those should solve your problem
