I had same problem.. when i got my new Oettinger wheels, they shuddered the steering wheel when i drove over 70+mph...
Tracking at kwik fit solved the problem for me :smiley:

Might be worth a try I guess, just seems odd that there was no issue before, but then i guess they might track differently due to the increase in size from my 17's,
Thanks for your suggestions guys,

What's a Spigot Ring?
Sorry for ignorance
Phil Mcavity:
Get the wheel Balancing re-checked by independant wheel centre.
Had same issue after my alloys, after 70 it would wobble and even out later on.
Cost you a couple of quid to have it checked out.

Spigot rings make the centre bore of the wheel match up with the spigot on the wheel hub. The weight of the car should be supported on the spigot, if it is not the weight is supported by the wheel bolts and will cause vibration at high speeds. It is also very dangerous and under spirited driving or heavy breaking the load on the wheel bolts can result in the bolts snapping and obviously the wheel will come off :scared:
