Sup yall,
My aftermarket rims recently broke on the interstate (long story) and I have some temporary 14 inch factory rims. They are not my factory rims though. I have an EX which i believe are suppose to be 15 inch. Recently I have also tried to swap out my rotors to drilled and slotted but was unable to so put factory rotor back on. My problem is that when i brake, the whole car shakes bad and I am thinking that maybe it is the 1 inch smaller rims i am using. The rotors mayb hitting the rim. Could this really be the problem or is it from my rotors i tried to replace but was unable to? Does anyone else have a such problem? I checked my rims and do not see any impact from the brake calipers or rotors to the rims. Help me out guyz!!!!

i had the same problem on my 95 accord, and i checked the rotors to find that both of them were badly warped. after i replaced them, the shaking at high speeds stopped.

I wonder if i have warped rotors, I seem to get the shakes if i press the brakes hard at highway speeds. how would i know for sure by looking at the rotors if they are warped or not? What would need to be done? Replace? or get them turned?

So you are saying dutch that I should just get them turned and that should fix it? Shouldnt be too expensive to do that correct? Would you get both front and rear pairs turned all 4 at same time?

very cheap to get them turned, and that'll likely solve the problem
