I recently put on rims (2 days ago), and I went and got it aligned... The wheel seems a bit jerky, like sometimes when I go up a small bump, the wheel will jerk a little bit, it drives nothing like it use to with my old tires. Is it just the brand new tires or... BTW, EJ1 94 EX coupe, Kumho 711 tires w/ 17" rims

 

I hated my 17's for that reason. From the day I put them on, they rode like **** ( 5 Zigen 5zr 17's with Yokohama tires) I finally took them off and sold them and went back to the stock wheels. I like them much better.

did you torque the lugs down correctly?

 

get smaller rims, preferably 15, and put on some beefy tires.

problem fixed.

 

low profile tires for ya

 

thats natural for 17" rims.

 

its called road feel hahah
got the same thing when i got my 16s had no power steering either so it was very noticeable i like it alot i feel more connected to the road and the car

 

low profile tires = better feel and crisp response.... but you sure feel MORE of the road too...

beefy tires = comfort, and they grip more under extreme cases ( asuming stock suspension)... but you get slugish response..

thats the short of it.

 

Mine are definitely low profile. But the rims look damn good on my car, I'll post some pics

 

the things we got to sacrafice to look blinging :D

 

yep...chomp back down ot ''regular size''

hey I had the same problem...then I got centric rings....there were like $20 and they were better.....do u have those on...

 

hub rings are going to make the wheels feel more balanced. doesn't sound like that is his problem. However he should definately get a set if doesn't already have them.
