did u see if the tyre is hopping up and down??is the tyre doin any sideways movement??
is there any buckles in the rims???? where u actually beside the fitter when he/she balanced the rims???
from my tyre fitting experience, wanli is a cheap, but alternative get-away-with tyre....
only askin due to your problems, have u also checked if there is any bearing/front-end looseness??? i.e. bearings, tierods,bushes,etc....

i would suggest to try another set of wheels, and see if it goes away.... if its still there, get a front-end check and go from there...

cheers, and i hope it works out in the end....


nah didnt notice it hoping up n dwn and i watched him do it.. shouldnt be any buckles in the rims coz there brand new.. ill get everything checked out anywayz... thanx 4 ur help

ud b supprised brand new or not it depends how they were made even the top quality rims come out new and have slight buckles in em best thing 2 do is spin em up with out a tyre on the rim, my guess would b the rims tho even tho wanlis r known 4 sidewall blow outs lol

If you do not value your life, stick with Wan-Li, Nankang, Maxxis etc. I do not know how anyone can use such piece of **** tyres. Spend a little extra cash and get quality rubber...you wouldn't use a half made condom when having sex why risk using cheap **** tyres while driving?

i agree with u on that point.... being a tyrefitter by trade, i have seen a few sets of brand spankin new wheels that are buckled in some form..
the customer doesnt really like to be told ' sorry but we are gonna have to get another set of rims sent out as these are buckled of some form'..lol

they get a little bit upset when told...:rofl:

ok i finally sorted the problem out....i thought id giv an on-car balance a try coz i heard it can be more precise... never seen how its done but they jack ur car up and balance the wheels on ur car with a strobe light an sensor.. seems to have fixed the problem now.
big relief, thought my new rims were ***ed lol
