Default STEERING SHAKING PROBLEMS WITH NEW RIMS

I just traded in my 95 M3 for an Audi TT, much funner to drive. Anyway I just got 18" HP RACING EVO rims from Wheelnext and now the car is shaking like hell (steering wheel). I took it to Just Tires and they say that they had to rebalanced the tires and added 2 Hub Rings. Still...the car was the same when I took it in, look like they didn't do crap or maybe they did, I will have to take it back.

I never had any problems before with all the cars I owed when I have after market wheels on them. First time owning an Audi and don't know what to expect. Can any of you please help me out. What could be wrong...is it the tires and rims or balancing or hub rings, the car start shaking at 45mph and up. My TT is a quattro AWD. Any advice will be greatful.

Thanks in advance.

Suggest you get a balanciing done by a shop that uses the Hunter Roadforce system. It has cured the woes of SEVERAL people I've recommended it to who were having the same problem.

Here's a URL that descibes the system: Hunter Roadforce Balancing System

If you surf around the site, it will also provide you with a dealer locator which will find you a garage that has the system near you.

SouthboroAudiGuy,

Thank you very much for your reply...i think you might be right and hope that you are. I've been researching and that Hunter system came about many time. I just hope that Just Tires Shop got that machine. Hope everything goes well tomorrow. Thanks

Again, do the Hunter Roadforce Balance. Reminder: they have a dealer locator on their web site.
