W124 230E Steering Wheel Vibration??

[imbck666]

Hi all!

Just fitted a set of 4 AMG 17" rims with tyres on my car
w124 230E prefacelift.

I used to have factory stock rims before, steel wheels 15" and never had any sort of steering wheel vibraion at top speed..

These have now been fitted on and i now have very slight steering wheel wobble when i go over 50MPH...

Any help?

Why didn`t you come yesterday?

The wider wheels are emphasising any previous minor faults in your steering. This could well be balancing as has been said. It might also help to renew the steering damper--its about £30 and an easy diy.
