- Fri May 31, 2013 2:06 pm #332343 I have a set of steel rims, and my rear seems realy wobly, then again i have some white side wall inserts on too, so it myt be that thats wobling. Question do steelies get wobly fast? Arent they suppose to be tougher? I never got into a bad pothole or anything like that. The again my rear is soo negative camber, it myt be a tyre issue? Pls advise . Thanks. :)

very good point. most good acron nuts will center it but if its not 100% it will cause the OP's issue as well
