    Im not sure why these wheels are giving me such a hard time...I've had the aftermarket wheels on the car before...drove straight...put back on the stock wheels... drove straight, sandblasted, powdercoated, mounted, and balanced the aftermarket wheels, pulls hard to the right, have checked air pressure probably like five times and all seems normal, I cant imagine that I need to get the new wheels aligned, but its irratating for sure. Any Thoughts?

      IF you take it to a shop and say it pulls to the right, and need it alligned, they test drive after and if it doesnt drive straight, they diagnose it. why not go that route? But alot of things can effect pulling. You are telling us the whole story right? Because It sure as hell doesnt sound like it...

        this is what i was thinking...

        if u just bolted on some wheels and didn't touch anything else, it wouldn't do anything unless ur wheel is fucked up, or a magic coincidence of a diff part failing at that exact moment in time.. Did u lower the car maybe or do something else when u put the wheels on?

        also try putting the old ones back on and seeing if it still does it...

          1st: If your original wheels/tires are doing fine on the car and it isn't pulling, it shouldn't be anything with the alignment at all.

          2nd: If you have the second set of wheels with different tires, and your getting a pull once you install them, then chances are it a/the tire/s. I have never ran into a rim causing a pull, only imbalance due to being bent. Tires cause pulls all the time due to belts becoming separated. Goodyear tires are known to have separations.

          Try rotating the tires to the left/right, and if the pull changes or gets more manageable, then it is the tires.

            check tire wear and did you make sure the centering ring (if there is one) is in there straight?

              So i figured it out..I laughed at myself after nailed this one, my car had been going in and out of a number of shops over about three days and durring each visit they would refill my tires with air (I had something on my dash fixed and they check the air)..so every time I checked the the pressure when it pulled and it all looked fine looked fine. After i had all the work done..two days later, flat...diagnosis TPMS sensor was leaking. Done.

                an off-centered centering ring will not cause a pull, a wobble/vibration if anything

                as for the leak, i see this often. especially tpms sensors due to the aluminum involved. corrosion easily develops, and those valve cores wear quickly.
