   Hello everyone I have a saxo vts mk2 and just recently I managed to kiss a big curb and punctured the tyre and hit the rim, I have put a new set of vtr rims on would that exclude wheel alignment? Anyway when drivin above 60 I get a vibrations through the steering wheel, does anyone know what this could be?

   Ive had tracking out before and never caused wheel vibration.
   
   If the wheels havent been balanced my moneys on them

   As above wheels need balancing,mis-alignment would cause the car to wander.

   I dont even try to take mine over 60, I practically loose the steering at 70 and it feels like its going to float off the road

   Check your tyre pressures.
