Recently put VTR wheels on my 1.1 beast was happy at first as they make the car look half decent.
But when i drive it the cars steering seems to be all over the place.
It keeps pulling either left or right depending what mood its in, and just doesn't feel 'right' when driving it.
If you go over a bump the car will pull all over the place.
Thought it may be tracking but wouldnt that mean it just pulls to one side rather than both?

It hasnt been lowered and i checked the pressures after they were put on, which all seemed fine.About 32 psi.
Might it be that i just need to give the wheels a bit of time to settle as last time i changed the front tyres when i had the 13's it felt like this for about a week?

Make sure you have the correct wheel nuts for them its the flat ones you need not curved ones. If these are incorrect they wont tighten properly and it'll feel like its all over the place

sounds like it's just tram-lining (following the grooves in the road). it'll be more noticeable as your new wheels are wider than your old ones.
