hubcentric rings

[ricky]

Assist me in locating the correct hubcentric
rings for my vehicle. I own a 1996 Toyota Camry and I
purchased a set of 17in Lexus IS300 rims. I balanced
the wheels numerous times and rotate all tires. I get
a constant vibration on the steering wheel. With the
stock 14in rims no problem. I kind of had it and
thelexus rims, they have been on the shed for the past
year and a half. I was under the impression that since
they were toyota that would not be a problem but it
was.
There are different sizes and I do not know what to
choose

Hubcentric rings are only for aftermarket wheels, the IS300 wheels are already hubcentric to Toyota hubs.

Check your tire and see if there are any improper wear. You should get an alignment aswell.

Take the car with the Lexus rims to a reputable tire shop. If balance is perfect there's a possibility of a bent rim. If you switch the tires from front to back, is the vibration still there?
If not you may be able to isolate the problem to one tire / rim combo.

I concur. if it vibes on the steering wheel, one of the front wheels/tires are suspect..

Yeah, vibrations through the steering wheel are usually front tires or front end.

Vibrations through the seat generally indicate problems with the rear wheels or rear differential/axles.
