*sigh*
Well, I went and spent $1400 on tires & rims at lees tires. WHAT a BIG mistake !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not ONLY does my car run worse now with nice rims & tires than it did with ghetto beater rust rims the thing is almost un-driveable.
I take it home the first thing I feel when going down little creek @ 40mph is a good awful vibration. ( out of balance ) *sigh* so I take it back the next afternoon told them the problem. They said well they were out of balance and big time. I said ok well Im going to go ahead and get an alignment while im here. So they put it in for an alignment and an hour later they say well your front & back is aligned but your sub-frame isn't looking so great we see the #s 93 wrote up under here near your passenger front tire so we are guessing it was at one point in an accident. I knew that from the S on the title. So he says to correct this problem he can do a temporary adjustment that will cost me a pretty penny or install these weird looking adjustable things under each front tire. So I go with his decision that the adjustable things were the best solution $110 each installed . I get the car back at 10 am the next morning drive it home. First time I took it on the highway Saturday night at 60mph I thought I was going to end in the ditch thing shook, vibrated & pulled to the left so bad I couldn't even go over 55mph without grasping the wheel really hard so hard infact my knuckles were pretty white when I got where I was going.
So I've got 1 of 2 options. Come here and HOPE someone knows what I should do or 2 take it back and get riped for another 220$ for another SHIT job and end up in jail from exploding with anger. Any Suggestions?
Old tires 13" stock ugly rims the ones with like 13 holes cut out of the rim
New tires 16" Vault Jade Chrome
Were balanced not once but twice & a " supposed "alignment.
