***Zeuceone*** · 03-17-2008, 03:53 AM

Blue JDM Coupe1016 · 03-17-2008, 03:56 AM

***Zeuceone*** · 03-17-2008, 03:59 AM

hmm. maybe its just the type of tire you used. mikey6p has them on his lx maybe he can tell you what how he installed his.

Blue JDM Coupe1016 · 03-17-2008, 04:08 AM

are you sure it's the wheels? i'm running stock tires with 04 type s wheels on my lx, and no problems here.

Blue JDM Coupe1016 · 03-17-2008, 04:59 AM

Midwinter · 03-17-2008, 05:05 AM

Keep us updated. I might be grabbing a set of '05 Type-S wheels.

DumbasSi · 03-17-2008, 12:31 PM

As mentioned above, it could simply be the different tires making a different sound that you are not used to. Some tires are much louder then others.

rcracin13 · 03-17-2008, 02:36 PM

i use the same wheels on my Si for beaters. rotate the wheels and see what happens. maybe tires were properly balanced.

***Phalanx*** · 03-17-2008, 02:57 PM

I had rsx wheels on my EX, no problems whatsoever. maybe some of the lugs arent tight enough and the rim is wobbling?

Blue JDM Coupe1016 · 03-21-2008, 06:07 PM

ok guys heres the update they really don't know i took it to my local tire shop but i noticed the other day i was driving on the highway and when i was braking at about 80mph the sterring wheel was shaking along with the wheels what can that be im thinking maybe an alignment or wheels weren't balanced correctly?????

slow4drsi · 03-21-2008, 06:10 PM
