Do you guys feel the added unsprung weight of these big tires on you cars very much?

Not at all. The lower profile up front actually helped the turn in, feels like it handles better. The rear tires get much better traction, so I'm actually much faster with them than stock.

by the way....sorry for using the word "crap", hehe. I just realized you might very well be right about those clips. Have you other guys removed those with the new wheels?

That didnt help...taking away those clips. Still the same vibration in the steering wheel at around 40 to 60 mph.

- what is there else to do?

Thanks!
