k...I've searched...but couldn't find a definitive answer...

As many of you know I've put my 19"s on recently... and haven't hit ANY potholes... but since I've put them on (they came balanced with hubcentric rings) when I'm on the highway... at about 70mph I start to feel a very slight vibration... all over the car...not just the steering wheel... (if I put my hand on the passenger seat I can feel it... if I put my hand on the shift **** I can feel it...) and the faster the speeds get the more intense the vibration gets. I can't go faster than 85 without it feeling uncomfortable.

Since the vibration has been there at high speeds ever since I put on the rims... could one or more of them be balanced wrong? It's not alignment right?

I've retightened all the lug nuts (using oem lugs)... not sure what else to do...

be careful

tighten you lugs correctly, i believe it could case brake damage.

is your car lowered? if so you should realign your car.

One of your wheels is off balance.

Sometimes in the winter when one wheel collects a lot more snow than the others I get the same feel because its causing that wheel to be off balance. So I bet that is your problem.
