Used Wheels. New Problems. Empty Used Wheels. New Problems.

Post by NuJersey Thu May 31, 2012 8:52 am

Some time last week, on a random craigslist search, i found some rims for sale that I liked (pictured below). After some negotiationg (tpms sensors don't workl for an 07'), the price dropped from 800 to $530. They came with pirelli tired on them from the factory with about 90% tread left. I put them on my mustang and now any time I go over 60 mph, I feel a vibration. I checked the air in the tires. The guy I bought them from said that he got them for free from somone who put after market wheels on his mustang after about 3500 miles. Since they are factory, I don't expect for there to be issues with the balancing of the tire, and since they are fairly new (no visible damage), I don't expectthe rims to be bent at all. I could be wrong. What steps should I take to resolve this issue?

What you should do first is look in the door jamb at the recommended tire pressure, it is usually between 30-35 psi. Set all 4 tires to that pressure. However, that won't fix your problem.

A vibration between 60-70mph is a tire out of balance (90% of the time). Have all 4 tires balanced, it should cost about $10 for each tire. This should be the first thing you do as it is the most cost effective and will most likely fix your problem. Anything can happen to tires; a weight can fall off, the difference in seasons, I have even seen cars with a few hundred miles have a tire balance problem. That's just where I would start if it were mine.

Good luck! Used Wheels. New Problems. 10498

You prolly need to have the new sensors synced to your car.

Dealer can! You may want to check with a reputable local tire shop too, they should have the scanners to do it.
