hi guys,

last year i changed a sport rim on my myvi. the shop ask me whether i wanted to put the O-ring or O-filler to make the rim more sturdy at high speed.. i thot it would be good. so i paid rm40 per piece. it has been a year, no problem at all.. its just that, last week i went to a tyre shop to do alignment and balancing, because the steering wheel started to vibrate whenever i go for 110km/j. i was told by the shop that the O-ring is not filling the O gap.. thats resulting the O-ring to moving whenever i speed the car. thus resulting the vibrating steering wheel. he ask me to go for a custom made O-ring, to ensure the O-ring fill the gap nicely..

my question

1. is it possible for the O section of the rim loosen over time?
2. any other solution for this other than custom O-ring?
3. where can i get a custom O-ring?

thanks in advance..
