Default My steering wheel are shaky after reaching 70 mph

I changed my rims to Carlsson 1/6 evo and i was given a hub centric ring to put in, which i did put in ... Now ... Everytime i reach 70 mph ... and above the steering wheel starts shaking...
Does anyone know what had gone wrong here? I balanced the wheel before mounting it ... I know there are a few of you who uses the Carlsson wheel on an audi .. Which hub centric do you use?
Do you have same problem?

Default similar issue, new tires = vibration @ high speeds...

get the wheels Hunter balanced and mounted, see if they have excessive road force and are out-of-round.

Default I do not have your wheels, but I do have non-hub-centric ones and use centering rings..

Did you use them for all the wheels? I only had them up front at first and still experienced vibration. That went away when all of the wheels had them.
The vibration can also be caused by unproper lug torque or tightening in a strange order; try loosening the lugs and re-torquing them @ 88-90ft-lbs & 65ft-lbs for wheel lock in a star pattern.
Mine can still act up sometimes after rotating and I have to loosen the lugs and re-torque. This car seems very sensitive to it. I had no issues with vibration on my VW's using aftermarket/non-hub-centric wheels in the past.

Anything out of norm should show up when balancing them, so not sure what else it might be. Alignment bad?

Default Your wheel may be out of round...just found out one of my wheels was out of round, even after I....

had them balanced they still vibrated. I took them back and the place I got them balanced out told me one of my rear wheels was out of round, having it shipped back tommorow.
