Hey everybody, thanks for taking the time to lend a hand with my little issue. I have a 2001 325i
A while back I bought some rims on craigslist that were off an e39 and put them on. Being also 16", I just swapped tires from my old rims, to these. After install, I had vibration and a pull, and before the install, the car drove like a dream! After research, turns out center bore was different, so I bought aluminum hub rings to get the hub to 74.1. After that, it was a lot better, but still a pull and vibration, just at higher speeds. Keep in mind ive had my wheels balanced twice now.
So I bought another set from different supplier, and put them on. Now its way better, brake pulsatiobpulsation gone, but still an annoying pull above 40mph and vibration around 75mph.
Now, what the heck am I doing wrong here? It seems hard to install these rings wrong...and the car never did this before. I Really like how these rims look on this car, but if putting the old ones back is the only option, then I will. First, I wanted to get some input from you guys. Could the actual rims themselves be the issue, and not the fitment?
Let me know, thank you!!!
Vibration/pulling persists after hub centric rings
