is it possible that the rotor bent? and costing the vibration?? because i heard the brake pad is rubbing the rotor, and it doesn't sound "the normal rubbing sound"...
also i checked... my driver side rotor is not really really flat out with my rim...because when i installing my wheel on the driver side, it seems there is room for moving around...and same happen with my oem's wheel too...so it should not my rims problem?
oh...also i feel it also vibration in the cabin, not just the steering wheel, but this happened after my track day tho...

I just put the stockers back on and drove to work. No vibration at all even at speeds of 87 mph. Solid as a rock. So I'm assuming it's 2 for 2 from the same shop that didn't balance my wheels correctly. I'm going to take them to a tuner shop that sells aftermarket rims and tires. Or I might need to buy a new set of hubcentric rings that is a tighter fit.

IF you have aftermarket wheels you need hub centric rings for your specific rim setup/size. That will get rid of your vibration problems you notice after putting new wheels on. Also, you should always get road force balancing, so so so much smoother and def worth the extra $$$

The "vibration" in the cabin with the whiteline kit alone is rubish. I have the kit and have no vibration. I also have 20mm Kics spacers with MR BBS wheels....also no vibration.

I did have Robi install it so maybe there is a trick to installing them correctly.
