TOP someone must know surely ??? :(

they are second hand wheels mate, and if they were buckled, they would have been able to tell when they were on the balancing machine

You can buy spiggot rings from places like Demon Tweeks mate.:thumbs:

anyone know where I can get a spiggot ring from, I'm missing one on one of my wheels, and mines shaking, I thought they just screwed up the balancing.

Sounds like your wheels are buckled there mate, did you buy them new?, if so did u notice the steering wheel shaking when you first put them on?

anyone any ideas about mine then ??

if you aftermarket wheel, they have a std pcd the spiggot rings are plastic rings that adapt the wheel to fit diffent hub sizes

Whats spiggot rings..??!

think i'm gonna buy a set of steelys, cheaper tyres too, for when i'm going thro front tyres in a month.

it was shakin really bad, fitted spiggot rings, had new tyres, one wheel refurbed, tracking, balancing, still a slight shake at all speeds, gets gradually worse

wheels may be balenced but still may be buckled
the two front steelies on my corsa are buckeled but they are balenced
it shakes around 50mph

langey its best to have the best pair of wheels and tyres on the back or itll over sterr when you dont need it
its easyer to catch understeer than oversteer

17 inch wheels, 7.5 wide, second hand, they are kurbed, but all have new tyres and have been balanced, had tracking done other day, track rod ends were slightly seized but its still the same now

which is worse as itll wear the wheel bearing out
and the drum could come off and the tyre will wear out quickly

have you smashed an alloy?

when i smashed my car sideways into a kerb the front wheel buckled and was wobbling the stearing wheel well bad. evan more when i broke, but it did it all the time, just changed it to the back.

There are loads of things.

Track rod ends, tie rod bushes, warped discs (if its even worse under braking),

my steering wheel is shaking when i move off and gets worse around 50mph, ive had 4 new tyres, spiggot rings, balancing and tracking... what else could cause it ?????
