But, you say it just "happened"... Did you do ANYTHING to the wheels? Like hit a large pothole, speed bump, etc... Run off the road?
In winter, on my 17" rims on my EG, the wheel weights would fall off roughly half-way thru the winter due to a mixture of hard driving, potholes/rough roads, and the cold. They were the stick on type for aftermarket wheels, not the clamp on type for use with factory wheels.
So, do you have aftermarket rims?
Well, its happening because something is not balanced correctly, be it the tires, steering or even an axle problem.
Look for the weights on your wheels (along the outer edge where the rim meets the tire) and see if any of them are missing...
Worst case scenario is just take it somewhere to get balanced...
But since you admit to driving hard, I would think it has to do with the wheel weights falling off due to more-than-normal aggressive driving...
get wheels balanced and have alignment checked. could possibly be bad axles. . did you hit anything. sounds wierd that it would just do it all of a sudden. are you redline all the time or what. just drive it normal and see what happens. if it still shows up after 50 then balance wheels. if doesnt go away then have frnt end chkd out.
