it sounds like your wheel isnt tight . check them now . if you can feel it going slow he either left your wheel or your spacer loose . thats not good . check your wheels and spacers before you drive . 55 plus is a balance issue rolling at a slow speed is deff something more serious .

If it is happening at a crawl then it's not the balance. Wheel/spacer may not have been mounted properly.

jack up the car and shake each wheel to see if there is any movement or play. you can also spin the wheels and see if there is any wobbling.

You have to drop the wheel really hard to lose the stick-on weigh.

Just be careful. If the wheel weigh fell off, you can simply balance it. it can be very dangerous going 80mph if something is loose.

The H&R hub ring broke off when ther wheels were being changed over. The hub ring broke at the collar. Prior to changing the wheels, there was no issue. As the wheels were remounted, the hub collar did not allow for a flush mount, hence the wobble.

Replacing the spacer obviously fixed the problem.



Your issue may be totally related to the weights being off. Don''t panic till you check it out!

Your car came with both a jack and the necessary tool to remove and reinstall the wheel.

What did the spacer look when you took the wheel off? You'd have noticed immediately if it was messed up.
