I also have these wheels. Love the way they look but I have experienced an issue since I had them installed. I am wondering if any of you have experienced something similar.
Since Install my car feels “jittery”. I have a slight vibration in the steering wheel and it is not periodic. It is like I can feel every blemish in the asphalt. When the car hits a bump it feels like something is loose in the steering components. There also feels like there is lateral movement even when hitting a small bump straight on. I normally ride in Sport mode and I have Mag Ride. Changing to Tour alters the feel a little but not much.
The car drove like a dream with the OEM wheels. Since the wheel install I’ve had the car aligned twice and had the wheels/tires road force balanced twice. The only other variable that I can think of is the new offsets of the wheels are causing some instability due to the increased moment arm. I’ve done some research but cant seem to find anything that addresses this issue
This has really gotten into my head and I am almost to the point of switching back to the OEM wheels. Any ideas on where I could look next for a fix? Does the offset difference sound plausible?
I think that the greater offset on the MRR wheels has an additional benefit and that is virtually no brake dust. It looks like the greater offset puts the face of the wheel nearly a full inch out toward the fender which means the calipers are an inch further away from the face of the wheel. Since installing these wheels I have virtually no brake dust on the face of the wheels. Very happy about that.
