okay so I suspect that one of my front stock 18's is bent because when I changed the oil I thought it looked a little odd. I'm not sure because at the angle I was looking at. But right now at around 60-80 mph the steering wheel vibrates like the 6mt shifter. It's really irritating my nerves in my hand. I haven't had time to take off the rim to look.

So will a slightly bent rim cause that kind of vibration?

 

Measure the run out axially and radially of the wheels.......or just demount tire and place wheel on balancing machine.........the wheel should be no more than 5 grams inside and 10 grams outside to 0/0.

 

Yes, it can cause that vibration. When I bent my rim, it wasn't noticeable until 70mph.

 

time to get rid of the stockers

 

yes, it definitely causes vibes. it will also ruin you mpg. repair it, or upgrade to Work/Rays/etc.
