My steering is really messed up???
I put new Enkei Winn rims on with 275/40/17 Kumho's while the car was in storage. Now when I drive the car my steering wheel is all over the place and its like driving a race car....i'm constantly having to move the wheel to make the car stay straight. This isn't your average tramling my brother's car has the same tires and 17 inch rims and his handles alot better. Also the wheel vibrates at like 50-55 mph on the highway. Do you think this is the rims or do I need a front end alignment?

Vibration is usual balance, not tracking straight is alignment...(right?)...

yes, check allignment and get your wheels balanced too. tell them to put the wheel weights on the inside of the rim....they use tape. that'll keep your rims looking good

My rims have weights both on the outside and inside. What is static balancing and is it better?
