Help! Aftermarket rims on an 07 Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So, i'm new here, I have terrible vibrations from my steering wheel. I have aftermarket 20's with E.T. lugs and hubcentric rims... nothing has helped, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

i would try rebalancing the wheels. if you bought it as a package from an online site they rarely do it right. I bought rims from wheelsnext.com they gave the wrong free lug nuts and put the weights on the outside lip lol.

Yeah, i bought them locally. Had them re balanced twice. Not sure what else is left to do. Am i the only one with this problem? I mean there are tons of customized toyotas out there. They can't all be just living with it can they?

No, we can't live with vibrations.

cam-on-20s · 08-28-2010, 11:38 PM

i didn't think so. Is there something i can do? What causes it?

btw is centric rings really necessary if i have 19s?

Hub centric rings are needed to reduce / eliminate vibrations. Of course quality matters.

In some cases you're ok without them but I recommend getting them if you have aftermarket wheels.

Tirerack.com!

Great information there about wheels tires, and whats recommended for you car.

BiGbodyANT · 08-29-2010, 10:08 AM

ebay has alot of hubcentric rings theres a certain type you have to buy i bought mine there the hardest part for me was finding out the wheel bore specs from my rim company after that it was cake. It is possible the tire/rim isnt round in that case I dont know how you would take care of that. Maybe have them drive it to show them

you may need weights installed?

deuce106 · 08-29-2010, 05:23 PM

its your wheels. there is not thing you can do about it...i have the same problem. i even had them balance on a roadforce machine, and it still the same.
