wheel alignment is out by the sounds of it.

And balance as well.

[hoonda]

yep- wot they both said

[garett]

yeh what they said... quality of tires, or the wheels need a balance, give it all a shot,

after a wheel balance and a wheel alignment you will feel like you are driving a brand spanker

should be only 80 or so dollars

The EK's came factory with 14's right? So 18's is a bit of a step up...

Depends on what sort of shocks n springs u got
But as the above peeps said, definately get a wheel alignment/balance.
Oh and get soem lock nuts if you haven't already :)

My mates are currently driving the pink Civic with cf bonnet and 18" chromes here in Adelaide - In gallery, looks sweet :rolleyes:

when you put the rims on did you balance and align them?

as everyone has mentioned above that would be your first point of action.

wheel balance.

if it was allignment problem, ur steering wheel would turn ur car by it self. it would lean. if it is just vibrating, then it must be balance.

Wheel alignment is with toe and camber too - if a car needs an alignment the handling could be all over the shop rather than JUST "turn by it self".
Toe coudl be out of spec as too camber etc- jsut take it to a professional and get a full wheel balance and alignment :)
