Default Hottub Looking to see what type of wheels you have??? And another question below--

Have you noticed a difference in the smoothness of the ride??? I have noticed with aftermarket wheels have a bumpier ride than stock.

Default Wheels are made by RH the are available from

RHWheels.com

It would be hard for me to give a real fair opinion of the ride since I have changed so much..

In my experience tho, if you are going for a low profile tire, there is going to be a little harsher.

That being said, I do not find my car to ride to harsh, but I have had a set of aftermarket wheels on every car I have ever owned

Default could be simple as a *good* set of wheels, or even a bad tire

balance...Mine get out of whack and shimmy before the end of the tread life. Tires *should* be balanced as often as you rotate the tires. Most dont (including me) but that would keep your tires from shimmying (sp?)

That is all of course that one of the wheels on the Maxima was not bent or true

Default thanks......wiper mod is considered *RICEY* 'round these parts.....

you may not want to take the heat and be associated with the likes of me....

The wiper mod is just taking both of the wipers off (remembering which is which) and then putting the drivers side arm on the passengers side mount. Put it on the correct angle and it will sweep the *neccessary* parts of the windshield. I would not recommend it for a rainy area.

Default I, for one, would never buy anything from them again...

Autostyles, that is (rhwheels.com). However, the manufacturer was very helpful in resolving the problem I had with one of the wheels and they can probably direct you to a better vendor. If you call them, ask for Joe.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rh-wheels.com">RH Wheels (manufacturer's site)</a></li></ul>
