hello people,iv just brought a set of standard s14 wheels to put on the rear to get a bit of drifting on the go, they seem to go on fine and it drove ok but on the motorway and every now an then it will woble slightly when on the power, i have fitted them using my works lightwieght wheel nuts so wondering if i need to use standard wheel nuts or something, other than that bit confused as to why its handling a bit odd, doesnt feel all that safe so parked her up and thought id ask:annoyed:

Are they definatly not buckled on the inside of the rim? Jack the back of the car up by the diff and get someone to spin them by hand while u look at the inside of the rims checking for buckles. I ran around on a set of s14 wheels a year or so back with lightweight nuts and no problems at all.

NP dude. If their not buckled it may be worth geting them re-ballanced too.

Are you running them on spacers? Because cheap spacers can cause wheel wobble.
