WilkesyMB6 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ok so for a week i have had my new wheels on. I havent really drove the car but last night i had to pick a mate up. Once i get over 50 if i turn the wheel slightly it feels like im driving on ice, there is like a delay in the steering. Im not comfortable driving it at speed at the moment, im going to check the wheels are on right but i did do them up with a torque rench.Any ideas people?

civicturbo79 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ill take it ,it did not feel like this with your old wheels on ? i would start by checking the wheels , then if it no better take them off and put your standard ones back on and try it again if the problem is still there ,at least you know its not the wheels , after that check the suspension for problems and last of all get the wheel alignment checked .

WilkesyMB6 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 im thinking that i dont remember seeing spigot rings on the alloys, would this case that feeling? If so do you think that the ones fro my old wheels would be the correct diametre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 May course you problems if the wheels are not on in the centre ,as long as the rings fit the hubs and fit in the centre of your new wheel , you have no problem using your old ones .

WilkesyMB6 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 As i thought, there wasn't any on the new wheels, so im guessing thats what it must be.So does anyone know what size they are for VTi-S Speedlines? I tried to measure them but wasn't sure what dimensions i needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
