Car wabbles really bad

So I put the 19's on during the summer but since the season is over I decided to put the stocks back on. I put on the stock 16" rims and since then I been getting this wabble in the steering wheel at city speeds.

I took the car to Honda to have them check it out and they told me my rims were on wrong. HMM. I double checked and tripled check the rims but they didnt appear they had to go on a certain way. I even had my dad check them out but he said they appear to be on right. They dont appear to be directional tires since I couldnt find any arrows on them. I asked the service man how they were installed wrong but he didnt answer me.

Any ideas?

hub centric ring? (the part where the hubcap goes if theres a gap the wheel won't fit properly giving it taht wobble/vibrating feel...for the stock tho...check and see if the ring is on there...it may be keeping the rim from fitting properly

What is a wabble?

Ah ha - Wabble: the larva of a botfly, Cuterebra emasculator, that infests squirrels and other rodents, rendering the males sterile.

Damn, don't get any of those near you

Wobble perhaps?

Even better, now with more added Word Nazi.

Harumph. I am 'weary' of my car 'wabbling', though it is a 'mute' point. It has left me 'scared' for life.

Sigh. End of western civilization looms. Wait is that a knock at my door? Two nice winged gentlemen have arrived and want to know if they can stay the night...
