So i bought a set of aftermarket rims and they aren't 100% true (round) so at low speed u get a small bit of wheel hop which is hardly noticable what so ever unless u have your foot off the gas doing 50km down a hill. but going access of 100kph the wheel starts to shake a small bit (going faster reduces it 120-140) and going even faster brings it back 150-180. now its not a oh **** this is scary vibration its more of the kind of vibration your grandfather would have on his back cushion on the low setting.

Basically what im saying is, will this damage my suspension, should i get these rims off and put my old ones back on. buying things of craigslist aren't always a good idea

if the wheel is bouncing constantly like that, i'm sure it will destroy your wheel bearings, and i am certain the rest of your suspension wont be happy about the excessive bouncing.

Is it all the wheels out of round? did you get them balanced? Did the new set require hub-centric rings? etc?

Is the shake ALL the time? I don't see why it would disappear at different speeds, the rim is moving ALL the time unless stopped of course, and therefore it should produce a wobble/vibration at all speeds, on acceleration and braking, in neutral....

the small wheel bounce is strictly between about 45-55 kph and vibration dont start until just over 100kph. yes hub rings were used, the rim it self it not round i went back to have my wheels rebalanced after i noticed it and on the balanced i watched it go around the rim moved up and down i would say about 3mms
