If your wheels dont match up to the hub of your car that could be the problem. Did they install any hubcentric rings?

It can be a lot of things. I had a issues with my hubcentric rings with my aftermarket wheels then with my spacers. We ended up removing them with no issues after that. But ever situation is different when it comes to different wheel setups. I wasn't worried about my wheels for the balanced out to zero on all four.

But alignments, bent wheels. and tires can all cause this.

Try getting a Hunter Road-Force balance done on those things.

And I'm sorry.. but did you really put these wheels on your car?

How were they balanced? What type of weights were used?

XXX
YES, i have these in CHROME.. they look really good. we all hav diff tastes. the only thing i dont like about the wheels is the OFFSET, the rear sits a little further in than the stock. fronts are pretty flush.XXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX..
now 2 my problem, thanks 2 everyone 4 the replies.. i have no idea what kinds of weights discount tire used, the car is only 3 mths old so it should not need an alignment. when i had the stock 18's on it ran perfect..no shake and no pulling to the right. i do have the hubcentric rings and this is the second set. balancing has been done 3 times.. i will ask discount if they can do a ROAD-FORCE balance.. the car has no other mods except the new wheels and tires...still shaking at speed...

its either you need wheel alignment or you have bent rims. try to put your oem wheels back and see how it drives.
