Hi guys,

Would be great if you guys can help out, I have just changed to a 15" rims, but when I brake, my left side brake will shake(warped?) or vibrate with the sound "Grrrrr..." like a grinding sound, and my car seems like refuses to stop. It is only on the left side.

I did my balancing and alignment prior to this.

took out the tyre and tried to fix it in properly, still the same, could it be something to do with my brakes or the rim size?btw way I am driving a Proton Wira. The rear tyres has no problems whatsoever.

On top of that, would the speed shown on my speedo meter be affected after the rim change?since I was using 13" prior to this.

Thank you in advance.

Rgds'

i had exactly the same problem... changed brake disc and bearing then solved, cheaper option is to skim it... No need to worry for rim since you have done wheel balancing unless its not carried out by good mechanic...
