My Rim Wobbles

[Pro2nr]

Hey Guys.  I Need some Advice.

I have a 2002 sedan and put rims on it about a month ago.  I noticed the rim had a slight wobble to it.  I took the rim off and put it on the balance machine but it stopped wobbling.  I put it back on the car and it did it again.  I then put the stock rim and tire back on and the wobble stopped, although it was really hard to take the wheel back off.  I was thinking that my rotor might be warped but I never heard of a warped rotor doing that.  I took the rim back and he also said the rim was fine.  Any opinion would be appreciated.

Try rotating the tires. See if that makes a diff. ie. if its the Left front move it to the back left.

i might be your center hub ring is wrong size and your wheel isn't fitted properly on your rotors.

is all fitting problem.. cos you side your rim isn't wobbling on the blancer, so you rim is ok...

also, check the wheel nut u are using, some wheel nuts have a differt tapper from the rims.. so, you have to match it...

also, are u using a spacer?  that can cause problems too..

oh.. if your rotor warp, it won't affect the wheel, only the break disk part is warp, where the pads meets the disk..hehe

Good Luck

you gonna need centering rings. Ask any wheel dealer, they should be able to help for $25-$30

I have centering rings on them already. And if it was a fitting problem the other back side should do the same but it doesn't.

I'm still trying to figure it out.
