hi ive just bought some 18" alloys for my cally

anyway i bought them off the internet from a decent alloy wheel store
so they came all ready balanced etc but since i put on my new 18"s the steering wheel wobbles like mad after 38mph

yes but i did have a slight problem with 1 of them on the front the clip that holds the spiggot ring doesnt fit neatly into the groove like its suppose to but i managed to fit it in the end.

I think Robbie means spigot rings that go on the hub or inside the centre of the wheel before you fit them. [img]/smile.gif[/img]

depends on the PCD

The PCD must be ok otherwise they wouldn't fit!

Check the wheels aren't buckled. Spiggot rings are a must and get proper alloy wheel nuts. Apply correct torque setting to each bolt
