viking Member 61 Member For: 18y 3m 2d Posted 12/09/10 07:55 AM Share Posted 12/09/10 07:55 AM HELP!!!!! I have 18" BSA wheels fitted to my BFII XR6T, I am getting alot of vibration in the steering wheel and in back of the car between 80kph plus since they been fitted. does anyone else have this problem with the BSA Wheels? I have installed the proper hub rings and alot of places have looked at this problem but cant seem to figure out the issue. Is it that the BSA Wheels are bad quality? and may be hard to balance right.I am seriously thinking of getting the Foose(MHT) Nitrous 18" fitted(are they any good). will the Foose Wheels give me any issues? because I dont want to go back to the boring stock rims.

I had a really heavy wheel in a set and that could be balanced up fine... albeit with ALOT of lead..tyre quality can be an issue. got cheapies? id be spending my money on better rubber before shelling out for new wheels.

Get them checked out, looking at the inside and outside edges. In my opinion bsa are a cheap wheel and you get what you pay for. If you are going to replace them think seriously about 18's - I went that way and am really happy with em, 19's and bigger are for show cars or very eagle eyed drivers on ultra smooth roads. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big are they?I took mine off and have never had an issue since, but they were really small!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
