Sounds like one or more of the wheels wasnt balanced properly, or you threw a weight and its no longer balanced.

More than likely a balance issue, however, be sure to follow your problem through thoroughly. i.e. balance, try, rotate front to back, try again. You don't want the issue surprising you on your next rotation....I speak from experience.

2 things to check for.

1) Wheel Balance
2) Since they are 19" I assume they are aftermarket you may need hubcentric rings.
