does anyone know why my front left rims starts to shake after about 50-60 and kinda is back to normal around 70? some one was telling me the rims prolly bent.. the car isnt lowered......

 

you need to balance your tires or get an alignment if its only at high speeds
if you notice it when braking hard you prob have a bent wheel or bad tie rod ends

 

thanks alot man

 

It could be a shifted belt in the tire as well. My wheels are perfectly balanced, but can give a little shake at (very) high speeds. Since yours is in a limited range, I'd say balance it.

 

check your lug nuts. i know that sounds dumb but make sure there completely torqued down to specs. i know some people that have forgot to do that and it starts vibrating.

I'm one of them. Yup, I've worked on my car and then driven off to test it out, only to find out a block later that I hadn't tightened the lugnuts. If that were the problem in his case, though, I think he'd find out rather quickly at 50-60mph! Seriously, when I did it, I went less than one block at less than 30mph, and by the time I realized there was a problem and got stopped, three of the four nuts were amost halfway off. Bad feeling, that. Makes you feel like a dolt, too.

Most likely it's a wheel out of balance. If you've got time, try swapping the rear tire on that side for the front one, and see what it does. If it's an unbalanced wheel, you should feel it on the rear of the car now.
