I have just taken off 3 of my wheels and one set of calipers to remove the paint to repaint (one at a time) but now I seem to have a tad of steering wheel shake at 55ish +. I know roughly what causes it, balnce of wheels etc but is there anything I may have done when taking them on and off to cause it. I'm 99% sure all the weights are in place but will check tomorrow.

I did use a torque wrench but i'll check them all again. Only took off one of the fronts. What setting should I do them too? I did them at 120.

All were tight, swapped the front with the rear and its dissapeared. Strange as i'm sure it was ok before hand. Going to get all the wheels checked/balanced by a garage. Probably poorly balanced when they were sent out.

All sorted now. I had one alloy which I had the tyre fitted by ''s**t Fit'', the other 3 were wrapped when i received them. This was the one causing probs. So took it to some professionals and it was out by 60 grams. Got it balanced for free, now just got to test them once my cars off the bricks.
