Handling

Post by TomTomsatnav »

Okay, ever since i've put my new alloys on, the handling has been very bad! i can only go 40mph tops anymore and i would end up crashing its that bad!

What i was thinking, would this be my wheel nuts? as i've used the same ones as used on the normal wheels, and there not going in as much as they did before

what exactly is it that the cars doing thats so bad? what size are the alloys? are they the right offset? are they balanced correct?

the more info, the more help we can be. when you say your car handles bad that cud mean anything tbh.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
