Car Shaking At Higher Speeds!

I did not have this problem before i had my 20's put on, ride was very smooth no vibrations or anything, after i put the rims on, and i get on the highway, towards the right side of the car, i feel a vibration, and i feel it all the way to the steering wheel, what do you guys think might be causing this? think i need to get wheels rebalanced?

Did you get your bolt issue fixed? Sounds like bolt issues, non-hubcentric wheels, or possible damages to the rim.

I have to say that if I were you I would get those rims off that car and go back to stock or something else. There is something wrong with that set up and it's not worth killing yourself over or at least *** up your car.

What in the world?! You're still driving without proper bolts? The vibration if probably coming from one or more loose wheels.

If those wheels not really for MB cars, you may need a hub-cap to put in the center. Otherwise , the wheel get unbalanced and make vibration. I got same problem with my old car.

Hello, my steering wheel vibrates and so does the entire vehicle when i go over 60 mph on hwy. The alignment is good but i do have 195k miles and I wondering if anyone knows what might be the cause?

bent rims , wheels not balanced , worn out suspension . Take it into a competent wheel shop to get checked out
