Weird feeling in the wheel at low speeds after new rims??

I just installed a set of 18" evo-5's on my car, at low speeds i get a weird sensation from the front end of the car, I can't really explain it, its not a vibration, more of like a rumbling maybe?? Nothing audio just a feeling in the wheel.

now I havent gotten them balanced, nor have a gotten an alignment since I changed the outer tie rod ends and ball joints. I just started noticing this since I put the new rims on though. I am running hubcentric rings in the rims, and everything is torqued to spec.

Any ideas???

Tires are used BFgoodrich g-force T/A KDW's, no visible uneven wear or flat spots.

I went from 17" 225/50/17 to 18" 245/45/18.


I didnt have this problem when I had my 17" comp-g wheels, only after i switched to these. Would the bigger heavier wheel make it more apparent that I need an alignment??
 


Did the hubcentric rings say for hubs x-mm - x-mm install this way and x-mm -x-mm install the other. Mine did and it confused me. Try flipping the rings around if you can't find the culprit.
 
Thanks bro, I found that the rings had a tampered edge on one side, so thats the side that went towards the wheel hub.

I hope the balancing and alignment take care of it. I cleaned off a lot of old sticky stuff from the inside of the wheel from old sticky weights, so hopefully a fresh balance will do the trick.
