sounds like they weren't balanced correctly. do the 5x114.3mm wheels really have a hard time fitting? I have been looking at a set of rims that is listed to fit the bonneville but has that pattern. has anybody here had problems with vibrations running a wheel that has that pattern?

Just make sure you torque your lugs evenly in a star pattern. (Not that you wouldn't do that anyway)

i'd suggest having it aligned...when i went from 15'* to 17'* my car rode like crap until i had it aligned...and as mentioned above you may need Hub-Centric rings,they made about a 15% difference for me

Do you know if they put Hub Centric Rings on the wheels before they mounted them on your car? If not this might cause vibration if the rims are not hub centric.
