Slight Vibration

[blackturbo]

~Just got my new wheels on (finally!) and there is a slight vibration at any speed, it doesnt worsen/lessen with slower/faster speeds.

Is this just bcoz I have bigger wheels and lower profile tyres or could it be the wheels arent balanced properly ( altho they were balanced as new)

Any ideas?

yeah, you will feel alot more road vibration through the car, if it was anything else it would worsen with speed, maybe a possible wheel balance problem, nothing to worry about i wouldnt think.

Don't understand, If it was a vibration with wheels it would get worse the faster you go!!!

Does it vibrate when you are stationary.

 

[blackturbo]

No, but it doesnt seem to get worse, which makes me think its just im getting more feedback from the road than I did with the previous wheels

 

[Ibiza Cupra]

Wot profile tyres are they??? That is probably the case.

yeah that will be road noise/vibration.

 

[Ibiza Cupra]

Yeah probably. I wouldn't of thought it was much worse tho, to the std 16's thats not a great deal different, If you sed 215/30/17 then that would be a hell of a big difference.

Well they r brand brand new wheels so may get better as i wear the tyres down abit

Unless u are running OFF ROAD knobbly tyres i doubt it!!!!!!

 

[blackturbo]

Well there is definately more vibration but its probably just bcoz im not used to it yet, its not huge so i will just have to get used to it

It your tyres mate, You have a super low profile so you will feel it more.

I stuck 17's on my old car & it was bumpy as fck, I wouldnt worry tho, You will soon get used to it!

[blackturbo]

Nope lol

Gona go get the wheels re-balanced just for my own piece of mind, probably wont make any difference but it annoys me!
