so some of you may remmber my run in with a median and my tire exploding and my sterring being messed.
So i got my new tires put on, and pulling out felt all good, sterring was still lop-sided, i was in a hurry and didnt get an alignment, i hope thats all it needs.
But anyways,
when i get to about 70km/hr and over i feel this slight vibrating in the back part of my seat on the drivers side of it, (closest to the door) and the wheel shakes a little...
bent rim? or could it be something else? The one rim i was thinking might be bent would be the one thats on the back drivers side, it was on the front drivers side before i got the tires on.
I wish my grass was Emo, so it would cut itself...

i would put the stock rims back on and see if it go away. If yes it does then your rim could be bent.

bad alignment, bent wheel, missing wheel weights, and warped rotors will contribute to vibration and steering wheel shake. Just start at the beginning of that list, and work through it until you find what's causing it.

Sounds like the rim could be bend. Put it in nutral and hang your self out the door some where safe, where there is no traffic. MAKE SURE the rim isnt rotating retarted or wabbaling around.

Yup. Thats what happens when your speaking with some one on the phone, Typing what there saying, and trying to type on here at the same time.
But either way. From reading how you hit the curb before I think your rim is probibly bent.

i would throw on the stockers, but i dont have any haha
Steve, thats good list and ill try that...if it is bent, i think its gonna cost me about 150 bucks to re-shape it, which is balls.
I only really start to notice it at higher speeds...ill strat with the alignment and see how it goes.

If it only happens at higher speeds most likely out of alignment or missing a weight.

and sunroofs are for highway beerbongs?
there is nowhere safe to do this.. period.
This is almost as classic as giving your engine a port and polish by pouring sand in the oil.

Lol Well Ive never had this problem cause Ive never smashed a curb... Cant say Ive ever bent a rim.
And unless your Retarded and let your car roll away then its safe in every way.
