Rims are Tenzo Type-M's in time attack colors...17X7 with 42 offset. Tires are Falken 912's in 205/45/17. I think the tires weren't balanced properly since I'm getting a wiggle in the steering wheel around 60-65mph.

wiggle = no hubcentric rings, bent rim, uneven psi in tires (not likely your problem) and I'm thinking its not the tires aligned wrong. Go back to the place, have them put you on some hubcentric rings if you dont already have them, rotate the front wheels to the rear and rebalance the tires and you shouldnt have a wiggle :tu: unless it is a bent rim problem and you have one in the rear also

good luck,
btw they look great :dancing now drop it

They do have hubcentric rings. I'm suspecting the balancing. They weren't balanced with the hubcentric rings on them I don't think. I bought them through a website and they were supposed to come mounted and balanced, but the rings came separately. They did it the first time I drove it with the new rims so I don't think its a bent rim...I hope not. I'll be taking them today to have them re-balanced and checked out. :thumbsup

I had free alignments still at NTB so they did that yesterday. It drives better but it didn't change the wiggle. Front/Left toe was off quite a bit though.

What are you lowered with? I just have JCW suspension for now. I was starting to look at coilovers, but that'll be a while before I get some.

Metal hubcentric rings fixed my problem with the shaky steering wheel. :dancing
