Default New Rims Shaking Stering Wheel

Hello everyone. I have an isu with my new rims when i hit 70 and start slowing down no foot on the pedal just let the car slow down i get a lot of vibration in my stering. So I took the car to the dealer with a good ballancer they found a bend rim on the fron so we moved to the back. Now the car is riding better but there is still litle vibe and shaking in my stering around 60 when i slow down. The wheels are 18 by 8 and the brand are millen Evo5 rims. Any one ever had that problem i wos wondering if is more sespenction or wheel or can tires do that i have sumitomos tires on. I also heard that gs400 have very picky sespenctions and they are hard to do with aftermarket wheels.

Any input will be grate.

If 1 wheel is bent, you will have a slight problem no matter where the wheel is. Also bigger wheels and tires give way more feedback and vibration, shaking a lil is almost normal.

yeah, what 1sick said...the ultiamtye solution is to fix or replace the bend rim..plus, do you have/use centering rings with these new wheels? most aftermarket wheels need hub rings to reduce the vibration

Thanks fro replaying and centering rings you mean like the rings with came insatll with a rim is like a black ring in the midle of the rim inside to center the rim right.
