Cheap wheels

Don't bother with cheap wheels. This might be a special case, or I might be bad at wheel shopping, but I wanted to clean mine up since the stock were rusting out, I finally found some cheap black ones on CL but..,

-Getting the offset is tough, failed in this case
-Quality is tough to determine
-The lug holes were slightly stretched out
-Needed to get aftermarket 'deep' lug nuts
-Needed to drive an hour both ways to get them,
-Had to get them aligned and balanced twice (second balance free, but still a pain) and they still shake a bit at speeds, roughly 45 to 65. Good thing I try and go 85 amap.

If doing it again I would save myself the hours of hassle an inferior product and get some cost effective but new / good quality wheels from a shop or similar..

Good luck

 

Not sure why would you even buy those when you got there and saw the problems?

Wheels have nothing to do with alignment. The hubs are what's being aligned.

 

Yeah, they were used, yes it would have been great to notice these issues before hand, some of them I could have, some could not. That's why I'm suggesting spending a bit more upfront instead of spending on time and hassle later. Yes alignment is not the rims, but the truck was still aligned and balanced at install, fyi, and then balanced again and only reached about 80% Id say. So lots of issues here, but it started with trying to save a buck on cheap used rims..

 

You got pictures?

Also,

This seems more of a you problem lol.. it could of been your neighbor that sells these and this would of not been an issue
