and...for some reason on the highway today...my steering wheel was vibrating quite a bit..and hte mait reqd signal turned on..
the instal was perfect
used a torque wrench to make sure
and they fit the car fine

does anyone know why

 

Mait light is prolly a oil change. It comes on every 5000 miles. Read how to re set in the manual. You prolly dont have hub rings. if you dont then go get some and have them re balanced.

 

balance your rims.. that sounds like your problem.

as for the light.. that's something seperate.. oil change.

 

the prob was
i just got an oil change..recently.. like maybe 2 wks

 

and it sounds like they did not reset your maintenance lamp.

To do so, Turn your engine off, Hold down your odometer reset, turn engine back on. You will see the odometer start blinking from 5 lines down to 0. Each of those bars represent 1000 Miles before the maint lamp turns on again.

So if you want the lamp to come on at 3k, wait for 3 bars, 5k = 5 bars and so on.

And yes, get your wheels balanced.

 

balance the wheels

 

gonna go for it tommorwo @ toyota..will shoot an update when its done.thanks for the help guys

 

Did they install Hub-Centric rings? Sometimes that can cause vibrations at high speeds with new rims if they didn't install them.

 

ya my wheel vibrates quite a bit too whenever i hit around 70 mph...the place that put my rims on told me it was because the lip was soo big it is hard to distribute the weight

 

sounds like you need hub centric rings

 

so you're saying that they couldn't balance the rim? all of them or just one of the front rim? regardless how wide the rim's lip , they should be able to balance it, unless the rim is defective....

 

definatly the hub rings. that happened 2 me also when i got my first set of rims.

 

ii have never seen the rings, but they are small black plastic looking things right? cause i got my new rims shipped and i think the 4 rings i have are the hub rings right?

 

^ That sounds about right. They are usually very small but can make enough of a difference to take away the vibration. The fill the space between the hub of your car and the centerbore of the wheel - since they're usually not an exact match.

And yes, they may also need to be balanced.

 

if they fit inside the hub of the wheel then yes
