Winter wheel install problem

[nogears909]

so i drove with my 18s on all summer, never had one issue. Winter comes around so I pull off the 18s, put on my stock rims with snow tires. Same wheels I used last winter and everything was fine

Took it for a test drive and wheni got into a bit higher speeds and braking, I got a really bad steering wheel shake.

Hopped online, did some searching and everywhere said unbalanced wheels. Get them rebalanced, and have the same exact issue...

Anyone got any ideas?

Was there a hubcentric ring used with the aftermarket wheels? is it stuck to the hub and the factory wheel shoved onto it?

My only idea.

i thought that to but couldnt see it when i pulled the wheels off, maybe ill jack it up again and inspect them more closely

That happened to my last car. Good catch Brian.

I had my boyfriend switch my tires ...and he was freaking out thinking my summer rims had mangled my hubs...long story short he managed to get all my tires on with the hub rings still on then was cursing and swearing when he had to take the tires and all those things off JUST to have to put em alll on again..... he was very pissed off and I found it pretty funny seems like they need to make those rings a florescent color
