Shaking steering wheel?

[Yuriy]

Could anyone help.
My steering wheel starts shaking after about 80-90kmph.

It's not as bad as it was on the mv2s. After the mv2s I had a set of steelies on her and it wasn't shaking at all an now I have put a set of motorsports and the shaking is back. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Wheels are out of balance by the sounds of things, if you have a set that theres no vibration!
Bring the set down to your local tyre place and ask for them to balance them - only a few quid!

Balance is probably off or check for warped discs.

If it were disks the issue would only be under breaking.

A buddy of mine had shaking at around 100km/h that ended up being warped discs, this was an E39 though, not sure if that makes any difference.

Another vote for wheels out of balance. I once saw a case (ex-colleague) where a build up of dried muck on the inside of a wheel put the wheel out of balance & caused the shaking you experienced. For me this is the cheapest & quickest thing to check. Get the front wheels balanced first. Also the rear wheels should be balanced too, often forgotten about.

As above really, Also possibly the wheels are buckled?

Check tyre pressures too - happened to me last week!

mine was vibrating at 100kph + too, a week after i balanced the rims. turned out one of the wheels was buckled. you really need to get them on a balancer.

Thanks all the four wheels where balanced and new tyres I'm pretty sure that they aren't buckled as I sprayed the alloys before putting them on. Would it be an issue with the steering rack

And I forgot to mention it stops after about 130kph.
