Right,that`s the picture with alloys,sozz for phone`s qallity,some says its sh*t because of old style rims produced years ago,some says awesome,what do you think lads? well,have to do some job first,balance all wheels,because when i reach 60miles steering wheel vibrates a lot,i am worrying it can be sh*t spacers or even damaged wheels? :(

I suspect your wheels are not properly balanced. Take them to a reputable tyre fitter, and ask them to balance your wheels. This isn't too expensive but it is definitely worth it; that excess vibration is causing increased wear on every vital part between your wheels and your hands!

They are Tsw Reflex alloys mate,
theyre hard to get hold of Have they got Attitude metal stamped on them ?

your lucky to find a set if they are 8)

they are a heavy wheel

Btw, what bolts have you used?
Make sure youve got the right bolts mate, them wheels are megga heavy and will work loose if you havnt got the right ones,

Have they still got the spigot rings on them?
if theyve been on a ford they will go on tight and be off centre .. id ask who ever youve bought them off what car theyve been on, you might have the wrong spiggot rings on them (spacers)
