Default New set of rims but having problems

Hey guys, I changed to a set of 19"X7.5 rims with 255/50/19 tires, i have the RX. However, when I reach a higher speed say around 100 km/h, the steering wheel starts to vibrate a lot, any reason why or ways to solve it, thanx.

At 62mph... I would bet it is the balance of the wheels...

Take them back and have them rebalanced. When they pull them off the car... roll them on a flat part of the shop floor. Make sure they do not have flat spots. If it rolls like an egg... then you have a bent wheel.
