The quality of those wheels probably sucks. Oh well. Time to throw the stockers back on and start saving up for a new set of wheels. Make sure you hop under the car and check all the suspension parts.

i had to get all new tires, so they checked all the suspension..it was good but my rear alignment was F&^#ed for the time that the old rim was on and until they fixed it
