Hi there, I recently purchased a 2007 VFR. Around 100mph I begin to feel some wobble. The previous owner removed the stock wheel and added an white 8 spoke wheel from an older VFR. I posted a picture for reference. I love the look, but wonder if this would be the issue? Any suggestions and help would be appreciated. Coloma Ride by SoldmySoul2VFR posted Oct 8, 2017 at 1:06 PM
And check front wheel bearings, steering head bearings. Also check front tyre for scalloping on the tread. It won't be the rear wheel.
I recently fitted an 8-spoke wheel to my 5G and (just as expected) it made zero difference to the handling. The 8-spoke is identical in all dimension aspects to the original 5-spoke wheel. Wobbles are usually associated with the front end and Oz covers off the important stuff. The only other thing to check would be for worn tyres, if you have a squared-off tyres these can transfer some odd forces into the chassis on longitudinal imperfections in the road, eg seams/joins.
