Default Front End Vibration. NEED HELP!

Here's the story. I just got some new(used) wheels, and when I mounted them on my car, I had vibration in the front end. It gets worse as speed increases. I had the wheels balanced, then I realized I needed Hub-centric ring, so I got those. But now I still have the vibration. Before I got the new wheels, I had no problems. Anyone with similar experiences or suggestions, please let me know. Thanx in advance.

are your lug nuts on tight?
are they mounted on straight? jack up the car and spin the wheel.

if u cannot see anything wrong.

try to find a tire shop that has machine that can measure ROAD VARIATIONS.

you may have a bad tire. or the rims is really bent.

even though you had them balanced, if your rim is really bad or your tire may had been manufactured wrong, you can feel the vibration.

if u nevered touched your knuckle, then i wouldnt ask if your axel nut if on tight.

hopefully i helped you somewat

Thanks, the tires I had on the front had flat spots, so all I had to do was rotate them.
