   Had a search for this but couldnt find anything helpful.
   
   My Saxo runs perfect on steelies, but i get massive vibrations with alloys. its pissing me off now
   
   
   With the alloys I get a vibration through the steering wheel at about 50mph, At 60-70 the whole car vibrates. It stops for a few minutes now and again, but comes back.
   
   Alloys are all straight and have weights on, so should be balanced.
   
   What do I need to look at to sort this out?
