steering vibration after upgrading wheels

need advice, i have seen a few of the previous replies but just wanna confirm.
i just changed my wheels to breyton 19" staggered from 18" non staggered.

after the change, i notice whenever i go above 100km/h, the vibration on the steering and car is very obvious where previously on my 18" RFT above 140 also no such vibration.

i can confirm it is high speed wheel balancing issue?

no need the coil la....just redo the balancing will do...check alignment as well.

Most likely is poor wheel balancing..
Refer back to tyre shop..

I assume u bought from ray s. if so, they only do wheel balancing and they do not have the capacity to do wheel alignment for u. Wheel alignment is recommended whenever you change rims with different specs.

Re: steering vibration after upgrading wheels

Sian man, one problem after another. now the vibration on steering will occur when braking hard. i heard its most likely warp rotor, but just wanna know whether changing wheels can damage the rotor? Should i go back to the tire shop to get them resolve the problem or look for rod
