Steering & Car Wobbly After Changing Rims

[premkraj]

Hi Guys, Mines a E34 525i, running on std 15inch rims till now. Changed my rims today to a 16 inch standard E39 rims with 50% threaded tyres on them. Was perfectly ok when running on my std 15 but after changng what a nightmare, terrible wobble, not sure if front or back tyres but feels like whole car wobbling at 80km/h and above. Guys please help me out on what can be done. anyway going back to the tyre shop tmrw. Thanks a bunch.........

Did they shop put in the hubcentric cones/rings when they fit in the E39 rims???

the center bore for the E39 rims are slightly bigger than the E34 center bore, so there is a slight free play if not fitted with hubcentric rings

Oh ok. I doubt these guys did that. Should i go back there and tell them or should i go elsewhere for it. The shop that I bought the rims from is the big famous orange shop in Jalan Kapar, Klang. If these guys talk crap, any particular shop should i go to and how much will it cost for the 4 rings ?

Thanks mate
