rims wheels..

I took off my rims to get my car serviced at Acura and when I put the rims back on for some reason every bump I hit feels hard and the steering wheel shakes allot. when I had them on before taking them off the steering wheel was shaking but not as much. I checked the air pressure and all the tires are fine. anyone has a clue what can this be?

Did you tighten them to proper torque in a star pattern?

Maybe there was something on hub, are you using a spacer?

Did you put the same rims back on in the same location, or did you just randomly put them on? Do the tires match the forward rotation (direction of thread)?

Strange, it should be just as it was before...

Loosen the bolts a bit, raise the car, remove the wheel, make sure the hub is clean, and place it evenly back on, tighten the bolts by hand as much as you can following the star-shape pattern, lower the car, and in star-shape pattern tighten the bolts to about 80lbs.

Make sure that the balancing weight didn't fall off. And finally inspect the tire.
