Default Slight vibration from wheels

Hey guys. I've had my 20s for while and its been vibrating like at 45-50 left to right but goes away when I go faster. I've always thought it was the road, but not sure. Anyone else have this problem? Just wondering. I got l-tuned springs and shocks and an alignment already about 5k miles ago, but i got the alignment once i got the springs and shocks on.

I am just wondering if I should get them rebalanced or re-aligned. What do you guys think.

Thanks,
Johnny

Could be balljoints and tie rod ends. Maybe the control arm bushings as well. Those 20 put a lot of stress on these components.

If they are 20', you need to do a balance, a good balance!

i drove for a few years without hub centering rings and finaly put them on this year.
My aftermarket wheels did not come with them. some say that a reputable wheel shop should sell you the rings w/ your wheels.

WOW! what a difference. They really make the vibrations go away.

Still need a good balance and alingment.

Bought mine online:
