Hi last week I went to a back street tyre place because I wanted two front tyres taken off some rims I had and I wanted them put on my car and I thought the guy was okay and he did it really cheap. But ever since he did them I have wheel wobble over 80mph and it handles terrible in a straight line. Only time it's okay is when I go around a corner.
Do you think he might not of balanced the wheels?
I'm not sure what he could of done?
 
I experienced the same on my old ep3. Front wheel was buckled.

I see. Well my and partner will jack the car up tomorrow and have a look.
I've got a sneaky feeling they need to be balanced.

Could also be a case of rust, if the rust has built up on the face of the disc where the wheel sits and the wheel has been removed and not put back on the same way it wont sit quite right. Worth rubbing down with sand paper :)

Turns out he didn't put my spigot back on right and my wheel has chewed half my spigot up.
I have ordered another on. :) very cheap fix at £2 :D
