Hubcentric rings
So I got volk TE37 SL's in 19" and before I didn't have any vibration or wobble before with the stock wheels. But now I do under decel between 35 and 20mph. Just got them all balanced, and they said the fronts are fine (feels like it's coming from the front) but the backs were counter balanced at had too much weight. Well, the wobble feeling/sound is still there so I'm guessing I need hub centric rings... but I don't know what size I hear the inner for 370z's are 66.1? Is that correct? But idk what outer size I need...

What are your off sets?

ID of rings should be 66.1mm, OD depends on the wheel specs.
You may have to measure them w/calipers; as the hubcentric is the truest centering of wheels. |
If it's only under decel then it has nothing to due with the wheels. Wheel imbalance is felt under all conditions above certain speeds.
Additionally, TE37's are lugcentric (the tapered lug seats set wheel position). Using hubcentric rings with them will just help installation. |
Your off sets seem fine, how old are your tires and what they?

Braking could be a slightly warped rotor; many factors....try knocking out of gear & coasting between those speeds....but if while braking; I'd be suspicious of a warped rotor.

So I normally brake in neutral up to a stop light, that's where I notice it most. I know it's not rotors because those haven't changed since I changed wheels. BUT today I was testing driving around at 34 mph not braking or accelerating and it's there. I believe my GT Haus exhaust covers it up which is why I notice mostly on decel when braking, often in neutral. But it's definitely there maintaining 34mph. I'm really hoping it's not a bent rim as I bought these volks used. But discount said they balanced perfectly fine.

Perhaps try removing and re-installing the wheels, making sure to tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to the correct torque. IIRC correctly the correct torque is 80 ft/lbs. The installer may have over-torqued the wheels. While the wheels are off, do a quick visual inspection of the brake pads and calipers to ensure there are no obvious signs of sticking or jamming and that the top and bottom lugs of the pads are adequately lubricated. If you elect to go with hub rings, the OD should be available from Volk. Check their website or just goggle "bore size of" whatever Volk wheels you have. As stated above, the hub rings are not absolutely necessary, but they do help center the wheel during installation.

You can slightly feel it through the pedal, but it's mostly audible. Loud radio or mid to high rpm acceleration the exhaust noise covers it up. Doesn't translate through the steering wheel. I don't think it has anything to do with the brakes as it literally popped up after I put the wheels on, brakes were fine no wobble or unbalanced feeling, to it being there the same day. It's not bad, but it's more than enough to annoy me.
I installed the wheels myself originally, used 82 ft lbs, in a star pattern... yesterday discount did their thing balanced the wheels and put them back on, and it's still there. So unfortunately I don't think that's the problem either :( Edit: I ordered a set of 73 outer 66.1 inner hubcentric rings just in case. I'm willing to lose $20 just to make sure... |
