i got some wheels today and then i bought them i noticed it had massave scraches in the alloy i said change them so they took them to quickfit and they took the tire off and they changed the alloy but when they did they didnt ballance the wheel so i went home fitted them. but when i drove it pulled so much to the left the wheel they fitted so i took it back to them and they blanced the to front 1s and swaped the 2 front 1s round to see if it pulled to the right this time. the guy had a go and it didnt but on the way home then it seems to be when i break that it sudenly turns the wheels left 
i dont know if this is a problam with my car or do i just have to get used to the low profile tires and this makes the steering lighter and when ya hit a pump the steering turns abit or its a wheel problam if it is they have to go back tomorro.
any help would be apreciated.

they'll be wider.
more surface area from tyre, follow the contours of the road more.

yeah this happens when you fit bigger wheels , as Goldy says its tramlining , you feel the road lines much more ,

sound to me that due to the new wheels and the new low profile tryes the ride has be come a little bit more sesitive due havein less rubber than ya old wheels and plus the wheels are little bit wider as well
