    Some background...: If you view my other posts, i had a 07 gt and was going to do a 5.4l swap. Well, i figured it was too much of a waist of time and just bought a 08 performance white gt500.

    I bought this gt500 on wednesday and it came with some really ugly Cragers. I bought some chrome fr500 wheels from american muscle to replace those and bought new tires as well. Wednesday night i put the new fr500s on and was so happy with the way they looked. I took it for a drive the next morning to see how they road and the steering wheel shook like crazy at 60mph. I figured it was a loose lug and went home and tightened them all. Took it out for a drive again to make sure it was fixed, and it wasnt. So then i re-balanced all of the wheels, and then took it out AGAIN and it did it AGAIN.

    Then, i checked to make sure there were no washers over the studs that were ment for the stock wheels and there wasnt. I went back to the lug nuts that came with the car to see if thatd fix it. Nothing has fixed this and its getting very annoying.

    any help?

    Were they "Roadforce" balanced?
    If not get it done...I was amazed at the difference...
