I think I know what you're talking about going down the wavy and uneven road. It happens whenever I go down a street called Haliburton fast on the right lane. And from that I think it shakes the links between your rear wheels. Don't worry about it. It's normal.

jonhsuing, so those are ur new wheels huh, nice man, i like the wheels well u got there... but going on to the subject, i dunno, i am an IDIOT i found out, checkin my tires pressure, it was around like 25 PSI... what the hell? well, it said on my tires 40 PSI max, so taking ELITEACCORDS advice, i subtracted 3-4... so i set it around 34 PSI... well, thats 6 actually LOL... anyway, felt a little better, but still, i get that out of control feeling when I TURN for a LONG duration like on a highway that is sharp, not on normal turns, cuz i have even better handling now i feel cuz of the wheels on sharp quick turns, but when im on uneven road pavement, especially ones with long turns on a highway, i am screwed... anyway, i went to two tire places and the guys said to get the hubcentric cuz they explained y, but i forgot already... something how something goes in a hole, but without the hubcentric ring its like the circle hole is not being filled, thus its like moving around, thats y i feel like my wheels are like gonna fall off my car. and he said change the lug nuts, and fill the tires with air (im so dumb, its not even funny, no wonder, that part of the rim that is bent looks worse now, FUK, thats a $450 rim(just 1 rim is that much) for gosh sakes, i cant afford to replace even 1 rim )... and if after all that its bad, go get an alignment he said, and go get it balanced, Hey 00frost, thanks moderator... he said u might be very right, but do the hubcentric ring first he said, and change the lugs, and inflate tires... cuz no need to waste like $38 on mounting tires again and balancing... and if all that still doesnt work, go fix the bent wheels (which it better not lead to).. well guys, i will keep u informed step by step.. right now, ride feels better now after inflating tires, but i still can feel that whobbly feeling from what i think is from the front (bent wheel is on the front right side).. on turns and uneven roads cuz i went home by highway today

Thanks

Where did you get your hubcentric ring from? I know Racing Hart includes theirs with their rims.

no problem man...
as a matter if fact, I just got new rims, and on the way home my steering wheel was shaking like crazy on the freeway. As soon as i got back, I called the tire shop and asked them what the problem was, and they told me that either a weight fell off or they balanced it wrong. So I headed back over there, it took about 0.5-1 hour for them to get it all rebalanced, and now its fine.

How much do hubcentric rings cost, where can I get some, and do I need them for my rims?

the manager at this one big tire company near my school, said (but im not sure if he's right) that every rims is different and that everyone rim doesnt necessarily need hubcentric rings... and the only place u can really get them is through the manufacturer of your wheel, cuz the rings are different. he said not every rim is hubcentric(?) whatever that means. so u can go thru your local car hook up store, or just go ask the brand of rim u bought it from, for example, i called racing hart, they said each one is like $4, and u need 2 of them (front wheel drive i guess). and shipping is like $5-10. so it should be like $18-28 TOPS.
