Default i havent...installed new wheels and tire with road force balancing.
other upgrades are springs and shocks. If you find a fix let us know. thinkim getting new rotors next maybe that will fix it.

Default rebalance....then rebalance again....then rebalance one last time. drives me nuts...
but out of my sets of wheels, one makes none at all, the stockers have been balanced twice and still shake like hell, and my other set has been balanced twice and now works. cheers! Mike

typically felt around 50-60mph, these 17" stockers suck!

Default Re: steering wheel vibrations - ???
I have 17" "stock" wheels and Pirelli tires and I am not experiencing any of these problem (I will say yet, because you never know). Can someone explain what's been happening? Thanks.

Default Lousy OE Tires
Agree with others in that it's likey rooted in the crappy $100 AS tires (any brand).
